"While 'atomic' has a volatile qualifier, this is a historical
artifact and the pointer passed to it should not be volatile."
Furthermore "It is very important that all accesses to a
particular integer or pointer be performed using only this API"
(from https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.68/glib-Atomic-Operations.html)
Hence initialization of atomic variables is changed to also use
this API, instead of directly initializing the value.
This also fixes a few cases where atomic variables were
accessed directly.

Those are blank to begin with, nothing is drawn, yet they'd still be
cached.
This may happen during an initial exposure (see 1a49d7d42b),
or when deleting regions.
To mitigate concurrent rendering, the waveform cache adds a random
range of pixels centered around the visible waveform.
Alignment is using integer half_width = width_samples / 2;
This always aligns the left-edge to the left-most cairo-pixel.
This fixes an issue with moving moiree patterns in waveforms when
zooming vertically (which invalidates the cache and uses a
different random number of pixels),
