Issue ID: 13444
Summary: std.concurrency.Mailbox should use a ring buffer

The current Mailbox implementation in std.concurency uses a private List
struct where every call to .put() needs to allocate a new node from the GC.
A better alternative is a ring buffer which can do all the things the Mailbox
needs and faster in every way. The growing time can be compensated by a right
call to setMaxMailboxSize() and any random removal can be a swap of the last
element with the one being removed.
