This is an optional replacement of the threadsafe queue. We already
have a C version that's used in production. So if we hit a bug in the
rust version, we already have a tried-and-tested C version to revert
back to :) So we are not in a rush to "fix" it if we find an issue.
As well, rust is not "enabled-by-default" in this patch - that's a
different decision.
This is to say "we can optionally include pieces" today. We can still
back out :)
