/**
  A class that implements a limited version of the Read-Copy-Update lock pattern

  When you have a global variable that is mostly read and seldomly changed you
  need to make sure your readers get minimal overhead eventually at the cost
  of slowing down your writers.

  It is implemented as an atomic pointer to the protected global (the template
  class). You can safely read from it and you can safely write a new version of
  the global. The problem is how and when to dispose of the old version(s) of
  the global that are swapped out by the write.

  The full RCU implemetnation solves this in a very generic way.
  But we here take a simplification: we assume that there will be frequent times
  when there's not gonna be active readers.

  If we count atomically the active readers (by calling @ref
  MyRcuLock::rcu_read() before reading and by calling @ref
  MyRcuLock::rcu_end_read() when we're done using the value of the global we
  have received from @ref MyRcuLock::rcu_read() we can detect these times by
  simply looping over the atomic count (@ref MyRcuLock::rcu_readers_) and
  waiting for a 0 to come out (this is exactly what
  @ref MyRcuLock::wait_for_no_readers() does). Once we get a zero we know
  that no existing readers will use the old value(s) of the global and new
  readers will get the new value of the global. So if we get that zero we know
  that we can safely dispose of all the old values we hold.

  Intended usage

  We instantiate @ref MyRcuLock once for each global we want to protect.

  To read we instantiate the utility class @ref MyRcuLock::ReadLock and
  we access the value by casting it to the type we need. Once the @ref
  MyRcuLock::ReadLock goes out of scope we can't access the global value
  or copies of it anymore.

  To write we fully prepare the new value of the global and then call
  @ref MyRcuLock::rcu_write(). That returns the old value of the global.

  Now we need to dispose of that old value. For that we wait until there's no
  active readers by calling @ref MyRcuLock::wait_for_no_readers() and
  then, if that succeeds we delete the old value. This is exactly what @ref
  MyRcuLock::write_wait_and_delete() does.
