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.

We already use a litmus test in atomic_t.txt to describe the behavior of
an atomic_set() with the an atomic RMW, so add it into atomic-tests
directory to make it easily accessible for anyone who cares about the
semantics of our atomic APIs.
Besides currently the litmus test "atomic-set" in atomic_t.txt has a few
things to be improved:
1) The CPU/Processor numbers "P1,P2" are not only inconsistent with
the rest of the document, which uses "CPU0" and "CPU1", but also
unacceptable by the herd tool, which requires processors start
at "P0".
2) The initialization block uses a "atomic_set()", which is OK, but
it's better to use ATOMIC_INIT() to make clear this is an
initialization.
3) The return value of atomic_add_unless() is discarded
inexplicitly, which is OK for C language, but it will be helpful
to the herd tool if we use a void cast to make the discard
explicit.
4) The name and the paragraph describing the test need to be more
accurate and aligned with our wording in LKMM.
Therefore fix these in both atomic_t.txt and the new added litmus test.
