// Takes reports from the ReportingCache, assembles reports into deliveries to
// endpoints, and sends those deliveries using ReportingUploader.
//
// Since the Reporting spec is completely silent on issues of concurrency, the
// delivery agent handles it as so:
//
// 1. An individual report can only be included in one delivery at once -- if
//    SendReports is called again while a report is being delivered, it won't
//    be included in another delivery during that call to SendReports. (This is,
//    in fact, made redundant by rule 3, but it's included anyway in case rule 3
//    changes.)
//
// 2. An endpoint can only be the target of one delivery at once -- if
//    SendReports is called again with reports that could be delivered to that
//    endpoint, they won't be delivered to that endpoint.
//
// 3. Reports for an (origin, group) tuple can only be included in one delivery
//    at once -- if SendReports is called again with reports in that (origin,
//    group), they won't be included in any delivery during that call to
//    SendReports. (This prevents the agent from getting around rule 2 by using
//    other endpoints in the same group.)
//
// 4. Reports for the same origin *can* be included in multiple parallel
//    deliveries if they are in different groups within that origin.
//
// (Note that a single delivery can contain an infinite number of reports.)
//
// TODO(juliatuttle): Consider capping the maximum number of reports per
// delivery attempt.
