/* DESCRIPTION
/*	These routines add/delete/manipulate per-destination queues.
/*	Each queue corresponds to a specific transport and destination.
/*	Each queue has a `todo' list of delivery requests for that
/*	destination, and a `busy' list of delivery requests in progress.
/*
/*	qmgr_queue_count is a global counter for the total number
/*	of in-core queue structures.
/*
/*	qmgr_queue_create() creates an empty named queue for the named
/*	transport and destination. The queue is given an initial
/*	concurrency limit as specified with the
/*	\fIinitial_destination_concurrency\fR configuration parameter,
/*	provided that it does not exceed the transport-specific
/*	concurrency limit.
/*
/*	qmgr_queue_done() disposes of a per-destination queue after all
/*	its entries have been taken care of. It is an error to dispose
/*	of a dead queue.
/*
/*	qmgr_queue_find() looks up the named queue for the named
/*	transport. A null result means that the queue was not found.
/*
/*	qmgr_queue_throttle() handles a delivery error, and decrements the
/*	concurrency limit for the destination, with a lower bound of 1.
/*	When the cohort failure bound is reached, qmgr_queue_throttle()
/*	sets the concurrency limit to zero and starts a timer
/*	to re-enable delivery to the destination after a configurable delay.
/*
/*	qmgr_queue_unthrottle() undoes qmgr_queue_throttle()'s effects.
/*	The concurrency limit for the destination is incremented,
/*	provided that it does not exceed the destination concurrency
/*	limit specified for the transport. This routine implements
/*	"slow open" mode, and eliminates the "thundering herd" problem.
/*
/*	qmgr_queue_suspend() suspends delivery for this destination
/*	briefly. This function invalidates any scheduling decisions
/*	that are based on the present queue's concurrency window.
/*	To compensate for work skipped by qmgr_entry_done(), the
/*	status of blocker jobs is re-evaluated after the queue is
/*	resumed.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Panic: consistency check failure.
