Add lock-free atomic hashtable for string->atomic int mapping

- Implements thread-safe hash table using only atomics and arrays
- Uses open addressing with linear probing
- Fast lookups: atomic load + string comparison
- Slow inserts acceptable (CAS-based insertion)
- Includes unit tests and concurrent stress test
- All tests pass with 8 threads doing 8000 total increments
