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).

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:
