This also updates all usages of the deprecated Val ctor to use
either IntervalVal, TimeVal, or DoubleVal ctors. The reason for
doing away with the old constructor is that using it with TYPE_INTERVAL
isn't strictly correct since there exists a more specific subclass,
IntervalVal, with overriden ValDescribe() method that ought to be used
to print such values in a more descriptive way.
Added ConnectionEventFast() and QueueEventFast() methods to avoid
redundant event handler existence checks.
It's common practice for caller to already check for event handler
existence before doing all the work of constructing the arguments, so
it's desirable to not have to check for existence again.
E.g. going through ConnectionEvent() means 3 existence checks:
one you do yourself before calling it, one in ConnectionEvent(), and then
another in QueueEvent().
The existence check itself can be more than a few operations sometimes
as it needs to check a few flags that determine if it's enabled, has
a local body, or has any remote receivers in the old comm. system or
has been flagged as something to publish in the new comm. system.
Majority of PLists are now created as automatic/stack objects,
rather than on heap and initialized either with the known-capacity
reserved upfront or directly from an initializer_list (so there's no
wasted slack in the memory that gets allocated for lists containing
a fixed/known number of elements).
Added versions of the ConnectionEvent/QueueEvent methods that take
a val_list by value.
Added a move ctor/assign-operator to Plists to allow passing them
around without having to copy the underlying array of pointers.
