tools/memory-model: Rename litmus tests to comply to norm7
norm7 produces the 'normalized' name of a litmus test, when the test
can be generated from a single cycle that passes through each process
exactly once. The commit renames such tests in order to comply to the
naming scheme implemented by this tool.
