Review request for Alan Conway and Darryl Pierce.


Changes
-------

Added missing Tracker.cpp file


Summary
-------

This allows multiple sessions (from multiple connections) to be managed with a 
single thread. It also allows non-blocking control over senders that reach 
their capacity (e.g. due to flow control).

It does not yet cover tracking of message settlement and reconnection is still 
blocking.

The API changes consist of a new class, Tracker - not at all keen on that name 
but have yet to come up with something I like - through which a set of sessions 
and/or senders can be tracked for 'readability' or 'writability' respectively. 
This is somewhat asymmetric. The reason for this choice was that in general you 
only care about the writability (i.e. available capacity) of certain senders 
(those you have data to send out on at present), whereas generally you care 
about any incoming messages. I could see this being extended to support both 
tracking specific receivers and to track all senders on a session but those 
seem like more special cases and not as critical at first.

The internal implementation on the 0-10 codebase leaves a lot to be desired. At 
present it is certainly not the most optimal, but it has virtually no effect on 
users who don't use the new class. The threading of the 0-10 client is driven 
by its use of the old client API underneath it. That and the locking in the 
messaging API layer means that a lot of checking actually needs to occur on 
application threads rather than the IO thread. Its this reason that I haven't 
tried at this stage to e.g. make a file handle readable when the tracker has a 
next() session available. Since it would in any case require a separate thread, 
little is gained at this stage. I envisage the 1.0 implementation being able to 
handle that case much better, being architected from the start with a more 
ideal threading.

So while this patch is still fairly rudimentary I thought it was worth sharing 
for some wider comment from interested parties.

> In particular:
> * remove the requirement for a thread-per-session when processing incoming 
> messages
> * remove the need to either block or poll when a sender reaches its capacity
> * remove the need to poll for changes in message settlement (i.e. completion 
> of sends and acknowledgements)
> * allow non-blocking reconnection
> * allow integration with polling loops etc
