In class we did a bounded version of producer/cosumer with semaphores
and unbounded version of this problem with locks and CVs. The
unbounced version blocks consumer when the buffer is empty but
producer can produce an arbitrary number of items. You are to modify
this solution to bound the buffer and stop the producer when the bound
is reached.
