next_gc is mostly updated only during a STW, but may occasionally be
updated by calls to e.g. debug.SetGCPercent. In this case the update is
supposed to be protected by the heap lock, but in reality it's accessed
by gcController.revise which may be called without the heap lock held
(despite its documentation, which will be updated in a later change).
Change the synchronization policy on next_gc so that it's atomically
accessed when the world is not stopped to aid in making revise safe for
concurrent use.
