Use barrier semantics when reading/writing writtenUpto
The walreceiver publishes its write position lock-free via writtenUpto.
On weakly-ordered architectures (ARM, PowerPC), both sides of this
handshake need explicit barriers so that the lock-less reader sees a
consistent state.
Use pg_atomic_write_membarrier_u64() at both write sites and
pg_atomic_read_membarrier_u64() in GetWalRcvWriteRecPtr(). This matches
the barrier semantics that GetWalRcvFlushRecPtr() and other LSN-position
functions get implicitly from their spinlock acquire/release, and
protects from bugs caused by expectations of similar barrier guarantees
from different LSN-position functions.
