runtime: access the assist ratio atomically

This change makes it so that the GC assist ratio (the pair of
gcControllerState fields assistBytesPerWork and assistWorkPerByte) is
updated atomically. Note that the pair of fields are not updated
together atomically, but that's OK. The code here was already racy for
some time and in practice the assist ratio moves very slowly.

The purpose of this change is so that we can document
gcController.revise to be safe for concurrent use, which will be useful
in further changes.
