These implementations will inline to the lower-level primitives, but they hide the underlying values so that all accesses are forced to use the atomic APIs. They also allow the use of shorter names (methods instead of functions) at call sites, making code more readable. Pointer[T] also avoids conversions using unsafe.Pointer at call sites. Discussed on #47141. See also https://research.swtch.com/gomm for background. Fixes #50860.
