/* A helper to manage the posting of records while respecting the various
   size limits.

   This supports the concept of a server-side "batch". The general idea is:
   * We queue as many records as allowed in memory, then make a single POST.
   * This first POST (optionally) gives us a batch ID, which we use for
     all subsequent posts, until...
   * At some point we hit a batch-maximum, and jump through a few hoops to
     commit the current batch (ie, all previous POSTs) and start a new one.
   * Eventually commit the final batch.

  In most cases we expect there to be exactly 1 batch consisting of possibly
  multiple POSTs.
