Mailbox uses too much memory #14

The crossbeam mailboxes use a lot of memory. Investigate why.

A Conqueue-based mailbox should use less memory and provide more predictable usage than the current Crossbeam-based mailboxes. Conqueue is competitive from a performance standpoint, but not quite as fast. However, initial tests indicate that this has a negligible impact on actor messaging throughput, so it seems like it'll be a good choice for the default mailbox.
