/**
 * A reentrant mutual exclusion {@link Lock} in which each lock
 * acquisition or release advances a sequence number.  When the
 * sequence number (accessible using {@link #getSequence()}) is odd,
 * the lock is held. When it is even (i.e., ({@code lock.getSequence()
 * & 1L) == 0L}), the lock is released. Method {@link
 * #awaitAvailability} can be used to await availability of the lock,
 * returning its current sequence number. Sequence numbers are of type
 * {@code long} to ensure that they will not wrap around until
 * hundreds of years of use under current processor rates.  A
 * SequenceLock can be created with a specified number of
 * spins. Attempts to lock or await release will retry at least the
 * given number of times before blocking. If not specified, a default,
 * possibly platform-specific, value is used.
 *
 * <p>Except for the lack of support for specified fairness policies,
 * or {@link Condition} objects, a SequenceLock can be used in the
 * same way as {@link ReentrantLock}. It provides similar status and
 * monitoring methods such as {@link #isHeldByCurrentThread}.
 * SequenceLocks may be preferable in contexts in which multiple
 * threads invoke short read-only methods much more frequently than
 * fully locked methods.
 *
 * <p> Methods {@code awaitAvailability} and {@code getSequence} can
 * be used together to define (partially) optimistic read-only methods
 * that are usually more efficient than ReadWriteLocks when they
 * apply.  These read-only methods typically read multiple field
 * values into local variables when the lock is not held, retrying if
 * the sequence number changed while doing so.  Alternatively, because
 * {@code awaitAvailability} accommodates reentrancy, a method can
 * retry a bounded number of times before switching to locking mode.
 * While conceptually straightforward, expressing these ideas can be
 * verbose. For example:
 *
 * <pre> {@code
 * class Point {
 *     private float x, y;
 *     private final SequenceLock sl = new SequenceLock();
 *
 *     void move(float deltaX, float deltaY) { // an exclusively locked method
 *        sl.lock();
 *        try {
 *            x += deltaX;
 *            y += deltaY;
 *        } finally {
 *          sl.unlock();
 *      }
 *  }
 *
 *  float distanceFromOriginV1() { // A read-only method
 *      float currentX, currentY;
 *      long seq;
 *      do {
 *          seq = sl.awaitAvailability();
 *          currentX = x;
 *          currentY = y;
 *      } while (sl.getSequence() != seq); // retry if sequence changed
 *      return (float)Math.sqrt(currentX * currentX + currentY * currentY);
 *  }
 *
 *  float distanceFromOriginV2() { // Uses bounded retries before locking
 *      float currentX, currentY;
 *      long seq;
 *      int retries = RETRIES_BEFORE_LOCKING; // for example 8
 *      try {
 *        do {
 *           if (--retries < 0)
 *              sl.lock();
 *           seq = sl.awaitAvailability();
 *           currentX = x;
 *           currentY = y;
 *        } while (sl.getSequence() != seq);
 *      } finally {
 *        if (retries < 0)
 *           sl.unlock();
 *      }
 *      return (float)Math.sqrt(currentX * currentX + currentY * currentY);
