/**
* A latch is a boolean condition that is set at most once, ever.
* Once a single release is issued, all acquires will pass.
*
* Sample usage. Here are a set of classes that use
* a latch as a start signal for a group of worker threads that
* are created and started beforehand, and then later enabled.
*
* class Worker implements Runnable {
* private final Latch startSignal;
* Worker(Latch l) { startSignal = l; }
* public void run() {
* startSignal.acquire();
* doWork();
* }
* void doWork() { ... }
* }
*
* class Driver { // ...
* void main() {
* Latch go = new Latch();
* for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // make threads
* new Thread(new Worker(go)).start();
* doSomethingElse(); // don't let run yet
* go.release(); // let all threads proceed
* }
* }

This could use double-check, but doesn't.
If the latch is being used as an indicator of
the presence or state of an object, the user would
not necessarily get the memory barrier that comes with synch
that would be needed to correctly use that object. This
would lead to errors that users would be very hard to track down. So, to
be conservative, we always use synch.
