Having had a look at the new class TimeoutBuffer, I realised that it
could just be written as an extra parameter to BlockingBuffer. I think
this would be cleaner.
BlockingBuffer.decorate(buf); // no timeout
BlockingBuffer.decorate(buf, timeout); // timeout
The method implementation will simply check if the stored timeout value
is zero. If it is it does the get()/remove() as is, otherwise it uses
get(long)/remove(long).
Note that adding a new field inn this case is OK with serialization as
the field will default to zero if an old version of the class is
deserialized using the new jar.
