Following from https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/865, this PR
removes `#[derive(Debug)]` on `mpsc` sender and receiver types in favor
of explicit `impl fmt::Debug` blocks that don't have a `T: fmt::Debug`
bound.
`#[derive(Clone)]` on a type `struct Foo<T>` adds an impl that requires that
`T: Clone`:
```rust
impl<T: Clone> Clone for Foo<T>
```
which is unfortunate in the case of senders, because we don't want to require
that the items being sent are `Clone` for the channel sender to be `Clone`.
This PR adds an explicit `impl Clone` for the bounded and unbounded sender
types which does not have the `T: Clone` bound.
Note that this is _also_ an issue with `#[derive(Debug)]`, but that one is
harder to work around as `chan::Tx` _also_ has `#[derive(Debug)]`, as does
`chan::Chan`, so we'd have to add explicit impls for all of them to make
progress.
Introduce a tokio-sync crate containing useful synchronization primitives for programs
written using Tokio.
The initial release contains:
* An mpsc channel
* A oneshot channel
* A semaphore implementation
* An `AtomicTask` primitive.
The `oneshot` and `mpsc` channels are new implementations providing improved
performance characteristics. In some benchmarks, the new mpsc channel shows
up to 7x improvement over the version provided by the `futures` crate. Unfortunately,
the `oneshot` implementation only provides a slight performance improvement as it
is mostly limited by the `futures` 0.1 task system. Once updated to the `std` version
of `Future` (currently nightly only), much greater performance improvements should
be achievable by `oneshot`.
Additionally, he implementations provided here are checked using
[Loom](http://github.com/carllerche/loom/), which provides greater confidence of
correctness.
