Use stdatomic functions for thread-safe operations. #130

Use stdatomic functions instead of an explicit mutex to protect operations.

Could probably use the atomic_*_explicit() variants that take a memory_order parameter and set the memory order to relaxed. Otherwise the default memory order is sequential consistency which is probably too strong for counters and flags.
