See the bug for discussion what issues current machinery has. 

This PR executes the plan outlined in the bug:
 1. Common the receiver type profiling code in interpreter and C1
 2. Rewrite receiver type profiling code to only do atomic receiver slot installations
 3. Trim `C1OptimizeVirtualCallProfiling` to only claim slots when receiver is installed 

This PR does _not_ do atomic counter updates themselves, as it may have much wider performance implications, including regressions. This PR should be at least performance neutral.

Additional testing:
  - [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `compiler/`
  - [ ] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `all`

-------------

Commit messages:
 - Drop atomic counters
 - Initial version
