Review request for qpid, Gordon Sim and Ted Ross.


Changes
-------

This version incorporates review comments and is a more polished product.
A pdf file describes in pictures what this patch does 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12576800/SlowConsumerRedirect_v1.0.pdf

This patch destroys a redirect pairing when either of the queues is deleted. In 
that case there is no attempt at save messages in the backup queue or put them 
back into the source queue. The management method has a nominal message mover 
to put messages left on the target queue back into the source queue when the 
redirect is destroyed. This, however, is not a finished feature.


Description
-------

To get a true 'atomic rebind' one should (1) freeze all traffic going through 
all exchanges that have bindings to be changed. 
Failing that, one could (2) freeze all traffic going through each exchange 
while that exchange's bindings are changed. 
A third option would be (3) to freeze each individual binding while it is 
moved. 

Options (1) and (2) require per-message locking at the exchange level; these 
locks do not exist today and adding them would undoubtedly introduce 
performance degredation. For discussion please see 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4616 and review comments at 
https://reviews.apache.org/r/9698/
Option (3) requires no new locking and could leverage the locking methods that 
the exchanges already use.

The change proposed here is a prototype that implements lightweight strategy #3.

This review exposes what the feature is trying to accomplish and the basic 
framework is complete. It has:
* Queue settings and status.
* Management method to trigger the rebind.
* Exchange methods to effect the rebind for each exchange type.
* Broker changes to handle queues in the 'rebound' state where bind/unbind 
operations on them actually go to other queues.
* Some test suite code to trigger the rebind method and its error paths.
* A qpid.rebind exchange for backup agents to use to refill queues that are in 
rebind state and not accessable through normal bindings.

Before this feature could transition to 'Ship It' it still needs:
* An ACL property to control specification of rebind queues.
* A handler for queue deletion while the queue is part of a rebind set.
* Code to restore a queue from rebind state back to normal.
* Proof that traffic can be properly recovered through a rebind


This addresses bug QPID-4650.
