/// Thread-safe reference counter used for binder objects.
///
/// This counter uses a special initial value (INITIAL_STRONG_VALUE) to defer
/// the first increment operation. This matches Android's BBinder implementation
/// and allows lazy initialization of binder objects.
///
/// # Memory Ordering Strategy
///
/// This implementation follows Android's RefBase memory ordering pattern exactly:
///
/// - **inc()**: Uses `Relaxed` for all atomic operations. The fetch_add and fetch_sub
///   (when removing INITIAL_STRONG_VALUE) both use Relaxed ordering. Android assumes
///   that onFirstRef() provides its own synchronization if needed.
///
/// - **dec()**: Uses `Release` for the fetch_sub to ensure all prior writes are visible,
///   followed by an `Acquire` fence only when destroying the object (when count reaches 0).
///   This two-step approach (Release on decrement + Acquire fence on destruction) is the
///   classic reference counting pattern that provides better performance than using AcqRel
///   on every decrement, since only the final decrement needs the Acquire synchronization.
///   **This exactly matches Android's RefBase::decStrong implementation.**
///
/// - **attempt_inc()**: Uses `Relaxed` for all operations (load, compare_exchange, fetch_add,
///   fetch_sub). Android's attemptIncStrong assumes synchronization happens at higher levels
///   in the calling code.
///
/// # Safety
/// This type is Send + Sync and safe to use across threads. The atomic operations
/// with proper memory ordering ensure thread-safe reference counting without data races.
/// This implementation is verified to match Android's proven RefBase pattern.
