/**
 * Implements an event semaphore concurrency primitive.
 * <p>
 * The idea here is to provide the capability of posting (or raising) a signal which can be
 * waited on by other threads. An event semaphore has two possible states: reset (the event
 * has not been signaled) and posted (the event has occurred).  Threads call {@code await} to
 * wait for the event to be posted.
 * <p>
 * {@code reset} is used to move the semaphore into reset state and {@code post} is used to
 * move the semaphore into posted state.
 * <p>
 * {@code await} will return immediately if the semaphore is already posted, but it will block
 * if the semaphore is in reset state.  All waiting threads are released at the moment that
 * the semaphore shifts from reset into posted state.  If the semaphore is reset after posting
 * and a thread that was waiting before the post occurred does not run before the reset happens,
 * that thread will still be released and it will still be runnable.  In other words, this
 * mechanism is "edge triggered" and is NOT "level" based.
 * <p>
 * The {@code await} method has a form that waits indefinitely and a second form that takes a
 * timeout value in milliseconds.  Upon return from {@code await} a status enum is returned.
 * There are 4 ways to exit await (posted, timeout, interrupted, semaphore destroyed).
 * <p>
 * If you need to check to see if the {@code await} will block, you may call {@code query} to
 * read the posted count. <b>WARNING: there is no guarantee that the state will remain the same
 * after the call to {@code query} returns.</b>
