Created a runtime exception that can be thrown if for some reason a

service can't make its services available (like the database is down, or their team lost, or their girlfriend turned out to be a guy). git-svn-id: https://samskivert.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@406 6335cc39-0255-0410-8fd6-9bcaacd3b74c

+/**
+ * The service unavailable exception can be thrown by any service that
+ * relies on some other services which is currently not available. If a
+ * service, for example, required information from a database and the
+ * underlying database service failed, it might wish to throw a service
+ * unavailable exception rather than provide invalid data to the caller.
+ *
+ * <p> Because this is a runtime exception, it is expected that it would
+ * only be thrown in unsalvagable situations and with the knowledge that
+ * some entity in the calling application would eventually catch and
+ * report the exception in as sensible way as possible (it is in the same
+ * class of error recovery as if our service threw a
+ * <code>NullPointerException</code>).
