[CURATOR-447] TreeCache: Improve memory usage and thread safety
Jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-374 reduced per-node
memory usage in `TreeCache`. It can be improved further via removal of the
`nodeState` field - its `LIVE` state corresponds exactly to the adjacent
`childData` field being non-null, and a sentinel `ChildData` value can be used
for the `DEAD` state. This simplification also reduces the room for bugs and
state inconsistencies.
Other improvements included:
* A further simplification to have `TreeNode` extend `AtomicReference`,
which obviates the need for an explicit `childData` field
* More robust cache update logic (in get-children and get-data event
callbacks)
* Avoid overhead of incrementing/decrementing the `outstandingOps` atomic
integer post-initialization
