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?
