docs/manual: document usage of BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_x
This commit updates the documentation to detail when and how to use the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_x dependency. Note that we chose to not add a comment about this dependency, because it is mainly tied to architecture capabilities (except in very specific cases, which would be way too complicated to explain in a Config.in comment).

* Gcc +__sync_*+ built-ins used for atomic operations. They are
|
||||
available in variants operating on 1 byte, 2 bytes, 4 bytes and 8
|
||||
bytes. Since different architectures support atomic operations on
|
||||
different sizes, one dependency symbol is available for each size:
|
||||
** Dependency symbol: +BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_1+ for 1 byte,
|
||||
+BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_2+ for 2 bytes,
|
||||
+BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4+ for 4 bytes, +BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_8+
|

for 8 bytes.
