atomics: Make conditional ops return 'bool'
Some of the atomics return a status value, which is a boolean value describing whether the operation was performed. To make it clear that this is a boolean value, let's update the common fallbacks to return bool, fixing up the return values and comments likewise. At the same time, let's simplify the description of the operations in their respective comments. The instrumented atomics and generic atomic64 implementation are updated accordingly. Note that atomic64_dec_if_positive() doesn't follow the usual test op pattern, and returns the would-be decremented value. This is not changed.
