Algorand v3.2.3 moves catchpoint writing outside the tracker lock to fix a generation delay

Algorand released version 3.2.3 for both MainNet and TestNet on January 5, 2022. The update addresses a minor delay in catchpoint generation that occurred every 10,000 rounds.

The fix performs catchpoint writing outside of the tracker lock. Nodes with catchpoint generation enabled see improved performance as a result.
