Semaphore mode options.

Semaphores are typically operated in one of two manners:

• binary mode, which has a ceiling of 1
• counting mode, which has a ceiling specified during semaphore creation

Enumerator
defaultMode	Use the default mode specified by the RTOS.
binary	Binary mode, ceiling is 1.
counting	Counting mode, ceiling is > 1.
