Removes a condition in Throttle::_reset_max by which the waiting queue is only
Signal()ed if the new maximum is lower than the current maximum.
There is no evidence of a use case where such a restriction would be
useful. In addition waking up a thread when the maximum increases
gives it a chance to immediately continue the suspended process
instead of waiting for the next put().
Create a new test file covering 100% of src/Throttle.{cc,h} lines of code.
The following methods are tested:
* Throttle::Throttle with and without a maximum
* Throttle::~Throttle when each pending Cond is deleted
* Throttle::take
* Throttle::get when updating the maximum ( lower or higher ),
when going to sleep waiting for the count to lower under
the maximum, when going to sleep because another thread is
already asleep waiting
* Throttle::get_or_fail when there is no maximum,
when requesting a count that is larger than the maximum, either
when the current value is under the maximum or above the maximum.
* Throttle::wait when used to reset the maximum and wake up
another thread asleep waiting
All asserts checking the arguments sanity are exercised ( negative argument
for Throttle::take etc. ).
Adds the LGPLv2+ licensing terms to COPYING along with the others.
Adds a Contributors section to the AUTHORS file.
Notes:
Testing asserts outputs verbose error messages that should be silenced
but it does not seem possible.

This is lightweight and relies on boost spirit, which we already use, so
there are no new dependencies.
There were some other libraries that also looked good, but they weren't
already packages for existing Debian distros like squeeze or even wheezy.

This (mostly) copies debian/copyright for now, but there are format
restrictions for that file. Suggestions for a cleaner way to handle this
are welcome. In the meantime, this is better...
