Use VarHandles in PingPongTransactionChain

Use VarHandles in PingPongTransactionChain

Most of our accesses are compareAndSwap() so we do not benefit all
that much from ARFU type safety. Switch to using VarHandles to access
our atomic fields. Provide an acquireReadyTx() to deal with the few
call sites which would require explicit cast due to using getAndSet().

VarHandles allow us to use compareAndExchange(), which exposes the
witness value -- hence our error paths report the correct object without
a possibility of a race.
