herdtools 7.56 has enhanced herd7's C parser so that the "(void)expr"
construct in Atomic-RMW-ops-are-atomic-WRT-atomic_set.litmus is
accepted.
This is independent of LKMM's cat model, so mention the required
version in the header of the litmus test and its entry in README.

Where Documentation/litmus-tests/README lists RCU litmus tests,
Documentation/litmus-tests/atomic/README lists atomic litmus tests.
For symmetry, merge the latter into former, with some context
adjustment in the introduction.

This adds an example for the important RCU grace period guarantee, which
shows an RCU reader can never span a grace period.
