Jeff Ciesielski 74ae66ddbc Add volatile load/store (#5263)
Adds volatile load/store capability to the impure part of the standard
library.  Note that this currently only supports numerical types.

Should resolve https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/3382

## This module contains code for generating volatile loads and stores,
## which are useful in embedded and systems programming.
template volatileLoad*[T](src: ptr T): T =
## Generates a volatile load of the value stored in the container `src`.
## Note that this only effects code generation on `C` like backends
when defined(js):
src[]
else:
var res: T
{.emit: [res, " = (*(", type(src[]), " volatile*)", src, ");"].}
res
template volatileStore*[T](dest: ptr T, val: T) =
## Generates a volatile store into the container `dest` of the value
## `val`. Note that this only effects code generation on `C` like
## backends
when defined(js):
dest[] = val
else:
{.emit: ["*((", type(dest[]), " volatile*)(", dest, ")) = ", val, ";"].}
