RFR: 8374685: ZGC: Convert zMarkStack to use Atomic<T>

Convert usages of AtomicAccess to Atomic<T> in zMarkStack.

I kept the old `compare_exchange` instead of doing a `compare_set` followed by a reload. We could probably support either. We would need to be careful in the `pop` loop, not sure if we gain much in readability from that change.

Testing:
 * GHA
 * HotSpot GC tests with ZGC linux x64 and linux aarch64
