Fast resizable golang semaphore based on CAS

* allows weighted acquire/release;
* supports cancellation via context;
* allows change semaphore limit after creation;
* faster than channel based semaphores.

### Usage
Initiate
```go
import "github.com/marusama/semaphore/v2"
...
sem := semaphore.New(5) // new semaphore with limit = 5
```
Acquire
```go
sem.Acquire(ctx, n) // acquire n with context
sem.TryAcquire(n) // try acquire n without blocking
...
ctx := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second)
sem.Acquire(ctx, n) // acquire n with timeout
```
Release
```go
sem.Release(n) // release n
```
Change semaphore limit
```go
sem.SetLimit(new_limit) // set new semaphore limit
```
