/**
FreeRTOS Counting Semaphore Challenge
Challenge: use a mutex and counting semaphores to protect the shared buffer
so that each number (0 throguh 4) is printed exactly 3 times to the Serial
monitor (in any order). Do not use queues to do this!
Hint: you will need 2 counting semaphores in addition to the mutex, one for
remembering number of filled slots in the buffer and another for
remembering the number of empty slots in the buffer.
