This is a generic implementation of the lock-free free list found in
qabstracteventdispatcher.cpp. Use next() to get the next free entry in
the list, and release(id) when done with the id.
This version is templated and allows having a payload which can be
accessed using the id returned by next(). The payload is allocated and
deallocated automatically by the free list, but *NOT* when calling
next()/release(). Initialization should be done by code needing it after
next() returns. Likewise, cleanup should happen before calling
release(). It is possible to have use 'void' as the payload type, in
which case the free list only contains indexes to the next free entry.
Autotest included.
