runtime: define and enforce synchronization on heap_scan

Currently heap_scan is mostly protected by the heap lock, but
gcControllerState.revise sometimes accesses it without a lock. In an
effort to make gcControllerState.revise callable from more contexts (and
have its synchronization guarantees actually respected), make heap_scan
atomically read from and written to, unless the world is stopped.

Note that we don't update gcControllerState.revise's erroneous doc
comment here because this change isn't about revise's guarantees, just
about heap_scan. The comment is updated in a later change.
