[rabbitmq-discuss] consume messages from exchanges

If passive=true, the server will check only that the named exchange or 
queue is present, and raise an error if not.  Note the contrast with 
passive=false, for which an error is raised if the exchange or queue 
*is* present *but* has different properties.

There's two places "exclusive" is used.

In queue.declare, it restricts the scope of the queue to the connection; 
i.e., only the current connection will be able to refer to it.  The one 
exception to this is sending to the default exchange, where an exclusive 
queue name may be given as the routing key.

In basic.consume, it ensures that the connection is the only consumer 
from the given queue.

"nowait" means the server should not send a reply to an otherwise 
synchronous method, e.g., queue.declare.  It sounds useful, but often 
there's important information in server responses (including the 
presence of the response).
