Add experimental support for channels.
This adds experimental::channel and experimental::concurrent_channel.
Channels may be used to send completions as messages. For example:
// Create a channel with no buffer space.
channel<void(error_code, size_t)> ch(ctx);
// The call to try_send fails as there is no buffer
// space and no waiting receive operations.
bool ok = ch.try_send(asio::error::eof, 123);
assert(!ok);
// The async_send operation blocks until a receive
// operation consumes the message.
ch.async_send(asio::error::eof, 123,
[](error_code ec)
{
// ...
});
// The async_receive consumes the message. Both the
// async_send and async_receive operations complete
// immediately.
ch.async_receive(
[](error_code ec, size_t n)
{
// ...
});
