AtomicLong/LongAdder/VarHandle counters benchmarked against the synchronized
and ReentrantLock baselines from the locks module, a deterministic ABA race

JMH throughput sweep (1-64 threads), 9:1 read-heavy @Group benchmark,
tryLock(timeout) deadlock-avoidance demo, and a JDK21-vs-JDK25 JEP 491
virtual-thread-pinning comparison. Also promotes LICENSE to repo root
now that a second module exists.
