/**
* A relatively easy to use utility for general purpose thread signalling.
* Usage on a thread awaiting a state change using a WaitQueue q is:
*
* {@code
* while (!conditionMet())
* Signal s = q.register();
* if (!conditionMet()) // or, perhaps more correctly, !conditionChanged()
* s.await();
* else
* s.cancel();
* }
*
* A signalling thread, AFTER changing the state, then calls q.signal() to wake up one, or q.signalAll()
* to wake up all, waiting threads.
* To understand intuitively how this class works, the idea is simply that a thread, once it considers itself
* incapable of making progress, registers to be awoken once that changes. Since this could have changed between
* checking and registering (in which case the thread that made this change would have been unable to signal it),
* it checks the condition again, sleeping only if it hasn't changed/still is not met.
* This thread synchronisation scheme has some advantages over Condition objects and Object.wait/notify in that no monitor
* acquisition is necessary and, in fact, besides the actual waiting on a signal, all operations are non-blocking.
* As a result consumers can never block producers, nor each other, or vice versa, from making progress.
* Threads that are signalled are also put into a RUNNABLE state almost simultaneously, so they can all immediately make
* progress without having to serially acquire the monitor/lock, reducing scheduler delay incurred.
*
* A few notes on utilisation:
* 1. A thread will only exit await() when it has been signalled, but this does not guarantee the condition has not
* been altered since it was signalled, and depending on your design it is likely the outer condition will need to be
* checked in a loop, though this is not always the case.
* 2. Each signal is single use, so must be re-registered after each await(). This is true even if it times out.
* 3. If you choose not to wait on the signal (because the condition has been met before you waited on it)
* you must cancel() the signal if the signalling thread uses signal() to awake waiters; otherwise signals will be
* lost. If signalAll() is used but infrequent, and register() is frequent, cancel() should still be used to prevent the
* queue growing unboundedly. Similarly, if you provide a TimerContext, cancel should be used to ensure it is not erroneously
* counted towards wait time.
* 4. Care must be taken when selecting conditionMet() to ensure we are waiting on the condition that actually
* indicates progress is possible. In some complex cases it may be tempting to wait on a condition that is only indicative
* of local progress, not progress on the task we are aiming to complete, and a race may leave us waiting for a condition
* to be met that we no longer need.
*
5. This scheme is not fair
* 6. Only the thread that calls register() may call await()
