/** This class extends the Cpl::Itc::MailboxServer class to add periodic scheduling 
    to an event based 'thread'.  The timing resolution of the periodic scheduling 
    is a determined by the 'timingTickInMsec' argument value in the class's 
    constructor.  For example if 'timingTickInMsec' is 10ms then no interval 
    should have a interval duration less than 10ms.
 
    The order of processing is:
 
       1. Event Flags are processed.  Events are processed in LSb order.
       2. The timers and their callbacks (if any timers have expired) are
          processed.
       3. The Periodic scheduler's executeScheduler() method is called
       4. A single ITC message (it there is on pending) is dispatched.
       5. The optional 'Idle' function is called.
       6. The loop is repeated until there are no expired timers, no event
          flags, no MP change notifications, and no ITC messages - at which 
          point the thread blocks and wait for any of the above asynchronous 
          actions to wake up the thread.
