[lldb] Don't model std::atomic as a transparent data structure in the data formatter
Summary: Currently the data formatter is treating `std::atomic` variables as transparent wrappers around their underlying value type. This causes that when printing `std::atomic<A *>`, the data formatter will forward all requests for the children of the atomic variable to the `A *` pointer type which will then return the respective members of `A`. If `A` in turn has a member that contains the original atomic variable, this causes LLDB to infinitely recurse when printing an object with such a `std::atomic` pointer member. We could implement a workaround similar to whatever we do for pointer values but this patch just implements the `std::atomic` formatter in the same way as we already implement other formatters (e.g. smart pointers or `std::optional`) that just model the contents of the as a child "Value". This way LLDB knows when it actually prints a pointer and can just use its normal workaround if "Value" is a recursive pointer.
