/**
* An implementation of counting Semaphores that
* enforces enough fairness for applications that
* need to avoid indefinite overtaking without
* necessarily requiring FIFO ordered access.
* Empirically, very little is paid for this property
* unless there is a lot of contention among threads
* or very unfair JVM scheduling.
* The acquire method waits even if there are permits
* available but have not yet been claimed by threads that have
* been notified but not yet resumed. This makes the semaphore
* almost as fair as the underlying Java primitives allow.
* So, if synch lock entry and notify are both fair
* so is the semaphore -- almost: Rewaits stemming
* from timeouts in attempt, along with potentials for
* interrupted threads to be notified can compromise fairness,
* possibly allowing later-arriving threads to pass before
* later arriving ones. However, in no case can a newly
* entering thread obtain a permit if there are still others waiting.
* Also, signalling order need not coincide with
* resumption order. Later-arriving threads might get permits
* and continue before other resumable threads are actually resumed.
* However, all of these potential fairness breaches are
* very rare in practice unless the underlying JVM
* performs strictly LIFO notifications (which has, sadly enough,
* been known to occur) in which case you need to use
* a FIFOSemaphore to maintain a reasonable approximation
* of fairness.
