--[[
This provides a deadline queue, where the item is retured at the appropriate
tick or soon after if it has already expired.
Keys must be unique for the item. (entity.unit_number)
Values must be a table. The field "_deadline" is added to the table.

Conceptually, this is an infinite series of buckets with each spanning SLICE_TICKS tick.
The buckets are processed until empty and expired. Then we advance to the
next bucket. The prior buckets are always empty, so they are discarded.
