/// Performs exponential backoff in spin loops.
///
/// Backing off in spin loops reduces contention and improves overall performance.
///
/// This primitive can execute *YIELD* and *PAUSE* instructions, yield the current thread to the OS
/// scheduler, and tell when is a good time to block the thread using a different synchronization
/// mechanism. Each step of the back off procedure takes roughly twice as long as the previous
/// step.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Backing off in a lock-free loop:
///
/// ```
/// use crossbeam_utils::Backoff;
/// use std::sync::atomic::AtomicUsize;
/// use std::sync::atomic::Ordering::SeqCst;
///
/// fn fetch_mul(a: &AtomicUsize, b: usize) -> usize {
///     let backoff = Backoff::new();
///     loop {
///         let val = a.load(SeqCst);
///         if a.compare_exchange(val, val.wrapping_mul(b), SeqCst, SeqCst).is_ok() {
///             return val;
///         }
///         backoff.spin();
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Waiting for an [`AtomicBool`] to become `true`:
///
/// ```
/// use crossbeam_utils::Backoff;
