Polish atomic pointers
Summary: I didn't realize that we already allowed atomic load/store of pointers, it was added in 2012 by r162146. This patch updates the documentation and tightens the verifier by using DataLayout to make sure that the stored size is byte-sized and power-of-two. DataLayout is also used for integers, and while I'm here I updated the corresponding code for cmpxchg and rmw.
