where available use AtomicU{64,128} instead of mutex for Instant backsliding protection
This decreases the overhead of backsliding protection on x86 systems with unreliable TSC, e.g. windows. And on aarch64 systems where 128bit atomics are available.
The following benchmarks were taken on x86_64 linux though by overriding `actually_monotonic()`, the numbers may look different on other platforms
```
# actually_monotonic() == true
test time::tests::instant_contention_01_threads ... bench: 44 ns/iter (+/- 0)
test time::tests::instant_contention_02_threads ... bench: 44 ns/iter (+/- 0)
test time::tests::instant_contention_04_threads ... bench: 44 ns/iter (+/- 0)
test time::tests::instant_contention_08_threads ... bench: 44 ns/iter (+/- 0)
test time::tests::instant_contention_16_threads ... bench: 44 ns/iter (+/- 0)
# 1x AtomicU64
test time::tests::instant_contention_01_threads ... bench: 65 ns/iter (+/- 0)
test time::tests::instant_contention_02_threads ... bench: 157 ns/iter (+/- 20)
test time::tests::instant_contention_04_threads ... bench: 281 ns/iter (+/- 53)
test time::tests::instant_contention_08_threads ... bench: 555 ns/iter (+/- 77)
test time::tests::instant_contention_16_threads ... bench: 883 ns/iter (+/- 107)
# mutex
test time::tests::instant_contention_01_threads ... bench: 60 ns/iter (+/- 2)
test time::tests::instant_contention_02_threads ... bench: 770 ns/iter (+/- 231)
test time::tests::instant_contention_04_threads ... bench: 1,347 ns/iter (+/- 45)
test time::tests::instant_contention_08_threads ... bench: 2,693 ns/iter (+/- 114)
test time::tests::instant_contention_16_threads ... bench: 5,244 ns/iter (+/- 487)
```
Since I don't have an arm machine with 128bit atomics I wasn't able to benchmark the AtomicU128 implementation.
