Remove custom token mechanism from ProcessThrottler

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Gavin Barraclough]

ProcessThrottler implements its own token-based counter mechanism, but should just use RefCounter.

There is one new feature here. ProcessThrottler used distinct token types for background & foreground activity. It would be a compile error to try to store a background token in the handle for a foreground token, and vice versa. RefCounter doesn't currently provide the facility to distinguish token types in this manner (all tokens are just Ref<RefCounter::Count>). Add a convenient way to easily create distinct token types.

I think implicit is cool here. There's nothing lossy about accepting an rvalue reference to a count in order to make a token.

I think you want some reference action here to avoid churning the refcounts.

Maybe this would be clearer if you used an enum instead of opaque class types. enum is OK as template argument.
