When watching many (5000) actors at the same time the
following problems were found:
* first send of a sys msg is sent without any flow control
=> limit the number of outstanding sys msg by using
the buffer to send them later (ordinary resend)
* when msg cannot be written sys msg is dropped (relying on resend),
but that cause message re-ordering and negative acknowledgment,
which is very costly
=> buffer the sys msg on write failure
=> minor optimization of AckedReceiveBuffer
I also made the resend-limit configurable.

* addunidoc task via an AutoPlugin that depends on PrValidation and Unidoc autoplugins
* separate cli option logic to a case class
* remove autoplugin for root project
* until we have replaced all internal usages of it,
or we could decide that it is good to keep as an
internal facility and then we can remove the deprecation
annotations
This improves the remote watching mechanism as follows: Watch requests
are intercepted by the RemoteWatcher and not sent on the wire,
excepted watches from the remoteWatcher itself.
RemoteWatcher is then in charge of forwarding DeathWatchNotification
messages to the watchers.
This reduces the number of watch message to one per watchee, even if
there are several watcher on the same watchee (instead of n+1 before).
Reversed watch messages, and watch on ref with undefinedUid are excluded from
interception by the RemoteWatcher and so are handled as before this commit.
In addition, the following changes are made:
- Keep watchers in a map watchee -> watchers for more efficient retrieval
(in a scala Multimap)
- Keep watchees in a map address -> watchee for more efficient retrieval
(in a scala Multimap)
- Use of InternalActorRef more thoroughly to avoid casts
- Rewatch use a standard watch message, as the distinction is longer needed

This is the first step towards more type-safety in Actor interactions,
comprising:
* generic ActorRef[T] that only accepts T messages
* generic ActorSystem[T] extends ActorRef[T] (sending to the guardian,
whose Props[T] are provided for ActorSystem construction)
* removed the Actor trait: everything in there has been made into
messages and signals
* new Behavior[T] abstraction that consumes messages (of type T) or
Signals (lifecycle hooks, Terminated, ReceiveTimeout, Failed),
producing the next Behavior[T] as the result each time
* the ask pattern is provided and yields properly typed Futures
* variants of ActorContext are provided for synchronous testing of
Behaviors
All of this is implemented without touching code outside akka-typed
(apart from making guardianProps configurable), creating wrapper objects
around ActorRef, ActorContext, ActorSystem, Props and providing an Actor
implementation that just runs a Behavior.
Changed the parameter type of targetName in PromiseActorRef#apply and changed so that toString of targetName is called once the value is actually needed, eg in the case of timeout.
The creating of the String used in the AskTimeOutException will then be deferred to when timeouts actually occur rather than before, as it was before this change.
Callsites of PromiseActorRef#apply are changed so that they instead of ActorSel#toString and ActorRef#toString send the ActorSel / ActorRef itself, thus not creating the Strings from toString unless necessary, saving StringBuilders and char[] used in ActorRef#toString and ActorSel#toString
This is an API breaking change if someone implemented their own Routers.
The change is required because the router must know if the local routees
should be started or not so it has to check the roles of the cluster
member (the local one). We could delay this decision of starting local
routees, but that would allow messages to be dead-letter-ed (bad).
This can be used to traverse NATs with the following configuration:
akka.remote.netty.tcp {
...
hostname = my-external-address.lt
bind-hostname = 192.168.1.100
}
Use Akka BoundAddressesExtension to get bound addresses
+ Props creation with nulls does not fail any longer
+ null values are now serialised properly and can be used in remote
deployments too
+ added tests for Reflect.findConstructor
> does not change wire protocol, so that's open for discussion (if we
> want it to be more like SerialisedMessage or not)
