Feature request: Change in EvictionQueue interface

[jorgemoralespou_2]

Hi,
I have made a custom EvictionPolicy as explained here. Since there has been a new JBC release, I have to remodify released code in order to modify NodeEntry to enable setNumberOfElements to work.
I think a good change could be to change EvictionQueue to have a method like this one:

void modifyElementCount(NodeEntry entry, int difference);

And change NodeEntry with this:

 public void NodeEntry.setNumberOfElements(int numberOfElements)
 {
 if (queue != null)
 {
 int difference = numberOfElements - this.numberOfElements;
 queue.modifyElementCount(this, difference);
 }
 this.numberOfElements = numberOfElements;
 }

This change also has things in common with this JIRA request

Sure, feel free to contribute a patch for the next JBC release.
