There was a bunch of internal to Oracle bike shedding over the names already. But I'm open to more if someone
thinks they have a better idea. Note that once we're all done with switching to `Atomic<T>` where appropriate,
I don't expect very many direct uses of `AtomicAccess` to remain (though there will be _some_).

Diffs for backports are going to get messed up anyway, since most uses of `AtomicAccess` will eventually be
switched over to `Atomic<T>` style usage.
