// This is a fully adaptive mutex that only requires 1 byte of storage. It has fast paths that are
// competetive to a spinlock (uncontended locking is inlined and is just a CAS, microcontention is
// handled by spinning and yielding), and a slow path that is competetive to std::mutex (if a lock
// cannot be acquired in a short period of time, the thread is put to sleep until the lock is
// available again). It uses less memory than a std::mutex. This lock guarantees eventual stochastic
// fairness, even in programs that relock the lock immediately after unlocking it. Except when there
// are collisions between this lock and other locks in the ParkingLot, this lock will guarantee that
// at worst one call to unlock() per millisecond will do a direct hand-off to the thread that is at
// the head of the queue. When there are collisions, each collision increases the fair unlock delay
// by one millisecond in the worst case.

// This is a struct without a constructor or destructor so that it can be statically initialized.
// Use Lock in instance variables.

    // barging can get by ensuring that every once in a while, when there is a thread waiting on the
    // lock, we hand the lock to that thread directly. Every time unlock() finds a thread waiting,
    // we check if the last time that we did a fair unlock was more than roughly 1ms ago; if so, we
    // unlock fairly. Fairness matters most for long critical sections, and this virtually
