Use atomic tag counter

[giordano]

I need think more about this, but this doesn't look good at all performance-wise. Before PR:

julia> @benchmark measurement(1, 2,)
BenchmarkTools.Trial: 10000 samples with 999 evaluations.

After PR:

I'm not really convinced it's worth killing performance this badly, the tag has a very minor role.

Also the benchmarks run in this PR confirm the bad effect on performance: https://github.com/JuliaPhysics/Measurements.jl/blob/3191a32b3043eb15d120de82371b2cfab33b077e/2022/03/28/214322/result.md#results

With the atomic tag counter I get:

julia> @benchmark measurement(1, 2)

Still slower than before, but the penalty is much more reasonable. Benchmarks: https://github.com/JuliaPhysics/Measurements.jl/blob/8b5405cd63498b2c9da5e4446eaea350bb1806b2/2022/04/02/174030/result.md#results
