[4/4] qpid-proton git commit: PROTON-1184: C++ merge APIs for single and multi-threaded use.

Posted by ac...@apache.org.
PROTON-1184: C++ merge APIs for single and multi-threaded use.

container is now an *interface*, slightly modified and suitable for ST and MT use.
  - controller is gone, connection_engine/IO integration use container interface
  - added default_container: single-threaded container implementation, like old container.
  - added listen_handler to react to accepted connections in container::listen.
    - renamed acceptor to listener
    - removed mutable acceptor options, now provided by listen_handler
  - thread_safe<Endpoint> used to return endpoints, safe for MT use.

thread_safe<Endpoint> provides thread safe access:
  - event_loop::inject() makes async/deferred function calls in endpoint context
  - endpoint stays in memory till thread_safe<Endpoint> is deleted
  - on deletion, thread_safe<Endpoint> safely injects a decref().
  - normal memory management: shared_ptr, unique_ptr, auto_ptr or operator delete.
  - returned_thread_safe<Endpoint> transparent conversion, old ST code unchanged.

connection_engine changes
  - connection_engine handler is optional (engine still updates model objects)
  - engine requires configure() before use - allow more leeway to compose options.
    - connect() does configure() and open() for a client connection
    - accept() does configure() for a server connection
  - renamed connection_engine::close->disconnected, distinct from AQMP protocol close

implicit convert handler to connection_options
 - handler as sole option is very common with MT handler-per-connection style

TODO:
- flow control C++ example is temporarily disabled, need to fix link-level handlers.
- thread_safe::inject() needs a time-delay version to replace container:;schedule.

 The recommended way to use proton multi-threaded is to *serialize* the work for
 each connection but allow different connections to be processed concurrently.
