-Rework our ``.trionics.BroadcastReceiver`` internals to avoid method

-The details of the internal changes include:

-- failing over to an internal ``._receive_from_underlying()`` when the

-- adding ``BroadcastState.statistics()`` for debugging and testing both

-- add an internal ``BroadcastReceiver._raise_on_lag: bool`` which can be

-  wants to choose between a [cheap or nasty
