appender: fix compilation 32-bit platforms like PowerPC (#1675)

This branch is @dzvon's PR #1508, with the following changes:

* Add a newtype wrapping the error counter to hide that it's internally
  an `Arc<AtomicUsize>`. This would allow us to make additional changes
  to the implementation without potentially causing breaking changes.

* Use saturating arithmetic when incrementing the counter to avoid
  wrapping to 0 on overflows. This is more likely to be an issue on
  32-bit platforms.

This is a breaking change that will be released as part of 
`tracing-appender` 0.2.

Closes #1508

Description from @dzvon's original PR:

## Motivation

Currently, tracing-appender crate cannot be compiled on PowerPC
platform. Because

> PowerPC and MIPS platforms with 32-bit pointers do not have
> `AtomicU64` or `AtomicI64` types.

quote from std library docs.
(https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/atomic/index.html#portability)

## Solution

Change `AtomicU64` to `AtomicUsize`.
