Typo fix thanks to @foreverbell, minor typographical tweaks.

Fix a typo thanks to Max Mouratov

Add a section on false sharing.
Nix suggestion that pipelining increases clock speed. A reader pointed out that this is a bit misleading. While pipelining a CPU does increase its throughput (since each stage can execute in a shorter clock cycle than if an instruction had to make it through the whole CPU in one go), pipelining can only slow the time taken for an instruction to get from start to end.
Typographical tweaks and improvements

Happy holidays, folks.

Retitle the paper and repo. As others have pointed out, it's kinda weird to call the document "What every systems programmer should know about lockless concurrency" when I don't discuss lockless v. blocking concurrency until we're a few pages in.
Largely rewrite the discussion of blocking v. lockless concurrency
Set the title, author, and date lines in Neue Haas Grotesk, AKA Helvetica.
Other small tweaks and edits

Added a section discussing blocking vs. lockless algorithms
Add a section on volatile in light of a boisterous discussion on that topic.
Add Fedor Pikus's concurrency intro from CppCon 2017 to Additional Resources.
Make intra-document links a violet to visually separate them from green external links and code snippets.
Other miscellaneous edits

Same as v1, but about half the download size.
