In the merge 9e6e43551f
we made Atomic_counter a more generic wrapper of std::atomic
so that dict_index_t would support the implicit assignment operator.
It is better to revert the changes to Atomic_counter and
instead introduce Atomic_relaxed as a generic wrapper to std::atomic.
Unlike Atomic_counter, we will not define operator++, operator+=
or similar, because we want to make the operations more explicit
in the users of Atomic_wrapper, because unlike loads and stores,
atomic read-modify-write operations always incur some overhead.
