Sometimes clients need to know if mailbox queue is full or not before posting new message via mailbox. If mailbox queue is full clients can choose not to post new message. This doesn't mean current queue length should be increased, but clients may want to wait till previous Tx is done. Introduce variable per channel to track available msg slots. Clients can check this variable and decide not to send new message if it is 0. This will help avoid false positive warning from mailbox framework "Try increasing MBOX_TX_QUEUE_LEN".
