// Responsible for generating packets on behalf of a QuicConnection.
// Packets are serialized just-in-time.  Control frames are queued.
// Ack and Feedback frames will be requested from the Connection
// just-in-time.  When a packet needs to be sent, the Generator
// will serialize a packet and pass it to QuicConnection::SendOrQueuePacket()
//
// The Generator's mode of operation is controlled by two conditions:
//
// 1) Is the Delegate writable?
//
// If the Delegate is not writable, then no operations will cause
// a packet to be serialized.  In particular:
// * SetShouldSendAck will simply record that an ack is to be sent.
// * AddControlFrame will enqueue the control frame.
// * ConsumeData will do nothing.
//
// If the Delegate is writable, then the behavior depends on the second
// condition:
//
// 2) Is the Generator in batch mode?
//
// If the Generator is NOT in batch mode, then each call to a write
// operation will serialize one or more packets.  The contents will
// include any previous queued frames.  If an ack should be sent
// but has not been sent, then the Delegate will be asked to create
// an Ack frame which will then be included in the packet.  When
// the write call completes, the current packet will be serialized
// and sent to the Delegate, even if it is not full.
//
// If the Generator is in batch mode, then each write operation will
// add data to the "current" packet.  When the current packet becomes
// full, it will be serialized and sent to the packet.  When batch
// mode is ended via |FinishBatchOperations|, the current packet
// will be serialzied, even if it is not full.
//
// FEC behavior also depends on batch mode.  In batch mode, FEC packets
// will be sent after |max_packets_per_group| have been sent, as well
// as after batch operations are complete.  When not in batch mode,
// an FEC packet will be sent after each write call completes.
//
// TODO(rch): This behavior should probably be tuned.  When not in batch
// mode, we should probably set a timer so that several independent
// operations can be grouped into the same FEC group.
//
// When an FEC packet is generated, it will be send to the Delegate,
// even if the Delegate has become unwritable after handling the
// data packet immediately proceeding the FEC packet.
