Basics of Cert-Count Non-Locking Telemetry (#16676)

Basics of Cert-Count Telemetry, changelog,  "best attempt" slice to capture (and test for) duplicates, Move sorting of possibleDoubleCountedRevokedSerials to after compare of entries. Add values to counter when still initializing.
Set lists to nil after use, Fix atomic2 import, Delay reporting metrics until after deduplication has completed, 
The test works now, Move string slice to helper function; Add backendUUID to gauge name.
