Fix shm index update race

There was a lingering issue where the fsp daemon would sync its shm
array with the source data and we'd set the start/end indices to the
same value. Under some races a reader would then read an empty `.array`
which it wasn't expecting. This fixes that as well as tidies up the
`ShmArray.push()` logic and adds a temporary check in `.array` for zero
length if the array hasn't been written yet.

We can now start removing read array length checks in consumer code
and hopefully no more races will show up.
