Remove bogus assertion in pg_atomic_monotonic_advance_u64

This code wanted to ensure that the 'exchange' variable passed to
pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u64 has correct alignment, but apparently
platforms don't actually require anything that doesn't come naturally.

While messing with pg_atomic_monotonic_advance_u64: instead of using
Max() to determine the value to return, just use
pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u64()'s return value to decide; also, use
pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u64 instead of the _impl version; also remove
the unnecessary underscore at the end of variable name "target".

Backpatch to 17, where this code was introduced by commit bf3ff7bf83bc.
