Convert unloggedLSN to an atomic variable.

Currently, this variable is an XLogRecPtr protected by a spinlock.
By converting it to an atomic variable, we can remove the spinlock,
which saves a small amount of shared memory space. Since this code
is not performance-critical, we use atomic operations with full
barrier semantics to make it easy to reason about correctness.
