msg: drop old instead of new messages on overflow
It did that because there was no other way. It used a lock-free ring buffer, which does not support this. Use a "manual" ring buffer with explicit locks instead, and drop messages from the start. (We could have continued to use mp_ring, but it was already too late, and although mp_ring is fine, using it for types other than bytes looked awkward, and writing a ring buffer yet again seemed nicer. At least it's not C++, where mp_ring would have been a template, and everything would have looked like shit soup no matter what.)
