interprocess: Mutexes, Semaphores, and Message Queues

Provides access to low-level operating system mechanisms for performing atomic operations on shared data structures. Mutexes provide shared and exclusive locks. Semaphores act as counters. Message queues move text strings from one process to another. All these interprocess communication (IPC) tools can optionally block with or without a timeout. Implemented using the cross-platform 'boost' 'C++' library <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/interprocess/>.
