None of the atomic implementations need a destroy function anymore, so it's
"more standard" and more convenient for users to get rid of them.

Every implementation used this same code, so it makes sense to centralize
it.

Standard C11 doesn't need these functions because it is able to require
implementations not to need them. But we can't construct a portable
implementation that does not need them in every case, so this commit adds
them.
These functions are only needed for atomic_flag objects that are
dynamically allocated (because statically allocated objects can use
ATOMIC_FLAG_INIT). So far there aren't any of those, but an upcoming
commit will introduce one.

This library should prove useful for the threading changes coming up.
The following commit introduces one (very simple) user.
