Defines tools for managing HTTP/2 flow control windows.
The objects defined in this module are used to automatically manage HTTP/2
flow control windows. Specifically, they keep track of what the size of the
window is, how much data has been consumed from that window, and how much data
the user has already used. It then implements a basic algorithm that attempts
to manage the flow control window without user input, trying to ensure that it
does not emit too many WINDOW_UPDATE frames.

Run the algorithm.
Our current algorithm can be described like this.
1. If no bytes have been processed, we immediately return 0. There is
no meaningful way for us to hand space in the window back to the
remote peer, so let's not even try.
2. If there is no space in the flow control window, and we have
processed at least 1024 bytes (or 1/4 of the window, if the window
is smaller), we will emit a window update frame. This is to avoid
the risk of blocking a stream altogether.
3. If there is space in the flow control window, and we have processed
at least 1/2 of the window worth of bytes, we will emit a window
update frame. This is to minimise the number of window update frames
we have to emit.
In a healthy system with large flow control windows, this will
irregularly emit WINDOW_UPDATE frames. This prevents us starving the
connection by emitting eleventy bajillion WINDOW_UPDATE frames,
especially in situations where the remote peer is sending a lot of very
small DATA frames.
