tools/memory-model: Add litmus test for full multicopy atomicity

This commit adds a litmus test suggested by Alan Stern that is forbidden
on fully multicopy atomic systems, but allowed on other-multicopy and
on non-multicopy atomic systems.  For reference, s390 is fully multicopy
atomic, x86 and ARMv8 are other-multicopy atomic, and ARMv7 and powerpc
are non-multicopy atomic.

This litmus test demonstrates that LKMM is not fully multicopy
atomic. (Neither is it other multicopy atomic.) This litmus test
also demonstrates the "locations" debugging aid, which designates
additional registers and locations to be printed out in the dump
of final states in the herd7 output. Without the "locations"
statement, only those registers and locations mentioned in the
"exists" clause will be printed.
