Allow stealing pointer bits
Summary: Currently hazard pointers doesn't support stealing any of the pointer bits. You can *almost* roll it yourself using try_protect, but this prevents implementations from choosing their type of barrier. This adds a new get_protected interface that you can use to steal bits, or otherwise manipulate pointers as you would like. This also adds a MWMR list based set example that uses it, that is wait-free for readers (unlike the SWMR example, that is only lock-free).
