Improve MessageQueue sync barrier implementation.
Instead of acquiring and releasing a barrier using an up/down counter, we post a message to the queue that represents the barrier. This is a more natural representation of the barrier and better matches what we want to do with it: stall messages behind the barrier in the queue while allowing messages earlier in the queue to run as usual. Refactored the MessageQueue a little bit to simplify the quit logic and to better encapsulate the invariant that all messages within the queue must have a valid target. Messages without targets are used to represent barriers. Bug: 5721047 Change-Id: Id297d9995474b5e3f17d24e302c58168e0a00394
