C# Class BEPUutilities.SpinLock

Synchronizes using a busy wait. Take care when using this; if the critical section is long or there's any doubt about the use of a busy wait, consider using Monitor locks or other approaches instead. Replaces the .NET SpinLock on PC and provides its functionality on the Xbox360.
