Policies

Implement CRUD operations on policies, as defined here https://www.rabbitmq.com/parameters.html#policies

CRUD methods of Policies must be available on MockConnectionFactory as it makes no sense to have the opened/closed semantic of a Connection or even a Channel when it comes to Policy definition.

Policies will affect only the following extensions (the other being not implemented):

• alternate exchanges
• dead lettering
• per-queue TTLs
• maximum queue length

I've started working on this - I'll get a PR ready with alternative exchange, dead letter exchange and dead letter routing keys together first.

Hi again @RedMu, thanks for your work !

I created it while ago, but at that time no one really needed it so I let it go stale.

I wonder, is this a feature you need in projects ?

[RedMu]

No problem, I've found the library very useful so I'm happy to contribute.

I would like to implement the x-modulus-hash exchange but it only really makes sense with policies in place so when I saw this issue I thought I'd get it done. I've got a few more tests to finish up for alternative exchange, dead letter exchange and dead letter routing key and I'll push it back for you to see.

I'll need to make some changes to the way way expiry is calculated for the ttl policies, so I'll get the other stuff back first.
