Update working set size estimate without lock (#12570)

Update the WSS estimate before acquring the lock, so that we don't need
to hold the lock for so long. That seems safe to me, see added comment.

I was planning to do this with the new rust-based communicator
implementation anyway, but it might help a little with the current C
implementation too. And more importantly, having this as a separate PR
gives us a chance to review this aspect independently.

* Estimation of working set size.

* This is not guarded by the lock. No locking is needed because all the
* writes to the "registers" are simple 64-bit stores, to update a
* timestamp. We assume that:
*
* - 64-bit stores are atomic. We could enforce that by using
* pg_atomic_uint64 instead of TimestampTz as the datatype in hll.h, but
* for now we just rely on it implicitly.
*
* - Even if they're not, and there is a race between two stores, it
* doesn't matter much which one wins because they're both updating the
* register with the current timestamp. Or you have a race between
* resetting the register and updating it, in which case it also doesn't
* matter much which one wins.
*
* - If they're not atomic, you might get an occasional "torn write" if
* you're really unlucky, but we tolerate that too. It just means that
* the estimate will be a little off, until the register is updated
* again.
