Read counters using atomic ops so as to avoid problems with the race
detector if a goroutine happens to still be executing at the end of a
test run when we're writing out counter data. In theory we could guard
the atomic use on the counter mode, but it's better just to do it in
all cases, leaves us with a simpler implementation.
Fixes#56006.

Add hooks/apis to support writing of coverage counter data and
meta-data under user control (from within an executing "-cover"
binary), so as to provide a way to obtain coverage data from programs
that do not terminate. This patch also adds a hook for clearing the
coverage counter data for a running program, something that can be
helpful when the intent is to capture coverage info from a specific
window of program execution.
Updates #51430.
