tools/memory-model: Define effect of Mb tags on RMWs in tools/...

Herd7 transforms successful RMW with Mb tags by inserting smp_mb() fences
around them. We emulate this by considering imaginary po-edges before the
RMW read and before the RMW write, and extending the smp_mb() ordering
rule, which currently only applies to real po edges that would be found
around a really inserted smp_mb(), also to cases of the only imagined po
edges.
