// A thread-safe multi-producer, multi-consumer queue for queueing items that
// are typically handled asynchronously by multiple threads. The ConcurrentQueue
// has two states which only affect the Wait call:
//
//  (1) Waiters have been enabled (enabled by default or calling
//      EnableWaiters). The call to Wait will block until an item is available.
//      Push and pop will operate as expected.
//
//  (2) StopWaiters has been called. All threads blocked in a Wait() call will
//      be woken up and pop any available items from the queue. All future Wait
//      requests will either return an element from the queue or return
//      immediately if no element is present.  Push and pop will operate as
//      expected.
//
// A common use case is using the concurrent queue as an interface for
// scheduling tasks for a set of thread workers:
//
// ConcurrentQueue<Task> task_queue;
//
// [Worker threads]:
//   Task task;
//   while(task_queue.Wait(&task)) {
//     ...
//   }
//
// [Producers]:
//   task_queue.Push(...);
//   ..
//   task_queue.Push(...);
//   ...
//   // Signal worker threads to stop blocking on Wait and terminate.
//   task_queue.StopWaiters();
//
