Expose `is_always_lock_free` as a macro

[SabrinaJewson]

Currently, the is_always_lock_free method provides a way of ascertaining whether a certain atomic implementation is lock-free as a const; but in today’s Rust one cannot, for example, allow the layouts of structs to depend on this value. To support this use-case, it might be nice to expose cfg_atomic_*_always_lock_free and cfg_atomic_*_not_always_lock_free alongside the other cfg_* macros.

I think this could be implemented by basically¹ copying the existing cfg macros, always applying cfg(...) of cfg_attr(feature = "fallback", cfg(...)).
