3351 - new but incomplete synchronization setup
Previously our channels were based on an unconventional
`wait-for-location` primitive that waits for a specific address to
change its contents. This only works as long as a channel has a single
reader and a single writer routine. To support multiple readers and
writers we switch to a more conventional compare-and-set primitive.

There's still a couple of failing scenarios, though -- the ones using
`wait-for-routine-to-block`, because the new approach never blocks on an
empty or full channel, just yields CPU for a time before polling. Hmm,
how to fix this?
