Make StringImpl::ref_count_ atomic

Convert the field to an atomic type and adjust accesses to match while
preserving existing safety checks. This is not the last step to make
Blink strings thread-safe, but it is the most potentially impactful on
performance. Perf testing results and discussion are in this thread:

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
