/// When working with consensus engines there is often data that needs to be shared between multiple

/// for this shared data in a generic way.
///
/// The pain point when sharing this data is often the usage of mutex guards in an async context as
/// this doesn't work for most of them as these guards don't implement `Send`. This abstraction
/// provides a way to lock the shared data, while not having the mutex locked. So, the data stays
/// locked and we are still able to hold this lock over an `await` call.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// # use sc_consensus::shared_data::SharedData;
///
/// let shared_data = SharedData::new(String::from("hello world"));
///
/// let lock = shared_data.shared_data_locked();
///
/// let shared_data2 = shared_data.clone();
/// let join_handle1 = std::thread::spawn(move || {
///     // This will need to wait for the outer lock to be released before it can access the data.
///     shared_data2.shared_data().push_str("1");
/// });
///
/// assert_eq!(*lock, "hello world");
///
/// // Let us release the mutex, but we still keep it locked.
/// // Now we could call `await` for example.
/// let mut lock = lock.release_mutex();
///
/// let shared_data2 = shared_data.clone();
/// let join_handle2 = std::thread::spawn(move || {
///     shared_data2.shared_data().push_str("2");
/// });
///
/// // We still have the lock and can upgrade it to access the data.
/// assert_eq!(*lock.upgrade(), "hello world");
/// lock.upgrade().push_str("3");
///
/// drop(lock);
/// join_handle1.join().unwrap();
/// join_handle2.join().unwrap();
///
/// let data = shared_data.shared_data();
/// // As we don't know the order of the threads, we need to check for both combinations
/// assert!(*data == "hello world321" || *data == "hello world312");
