atomic::Ordering: Get rid of misleading parts of intro

Remove the parts of atomic::Ordering's intro that wrongly claimed that
SeqCst prevents all reorderings around it.

Closes rust-lang#55196

This is a (minimal) alternative to rust-lang#55233.

I also wonder if it would be worth adding at least some warnings that atomics are often a footgun/hard to use correctly, similarly like `mem::transmute` or other functions have.
