/** Implementation of the gRPC LB policy.
 *
 * This policy takes as input a set of resolved addresses {a1..an} for which the
 * LB set was set (it's the resolver's responsibility to ensure this). That is
 * to say, {a1..an} represent a collection of LB servers.
 *
 * An internal channel (\a glb_lb_policy.lb_channel) is created over {a1..an}.
 * This channel behaves just like a regular channel. In particular, the
 * constructed URI over the addresses a1..an will use the default pick first
 * policy to select from this list of LB server backends.
 *
 * The first time the policy gets a request for a pick, a ping, or to exit the
 * idle state, \a query_for_backends_locked() is called. This function sets up
 * and initiates the internal communication with the LB server. In particular,
 * it's responsible for instantiating the internal *streaming* call to the LB
 * server (whichever address from {a1..an} pick-first chose). This call is
 * serviced by two callbacks, \a lb_on_server_status_received and \a
 * lb_on_response_received. The former will be called when the call to the LB
 * server completes. This can happen if the LB server closes the connection or
 * if this policy itself cancels the call (for example because it's shutting
 * down). If the internal call times out, the usual behavior of pick-first
 * applies, continuing to pick from the list {a1..an}.
 *
 * Upon sucesss, the incoming \a LoadBalancingResponse is processed by \a
 * res_recv. An invalid one results in the termination of the streaming call. A
 * new streaming call should be created if possible, failing the original call
 * otherwise. For a valid \a LoadBalancingResponse, the server list of actual
 * backends is extracted. A Round Robin policy will be created from this list.
 * There are two possible scenarios:
 *
 * 1. This is the first server list received. There was no previous instance of
 *    the Round Robin policy. \a rr_handover_locked() will instantiate the RR
 *    policy and perform all the pending operations over it.
 * 2. There's already a RR policy instance active. We need to introduce the new
 *    one build from the new serverlist, but taking care not to disrupt the
 *    operations in progress over the old RR instance. This is done by
 *    decreasing the reference count on the old policy. The moment no more
 *    references are held on the old RR policy, it'll be destroyed and \a
 *    glb_rr_connectivity_changed notified with a \a GRPC_CHANNEL_SHUTDOWN
 *    state. At this point we can transition to a new RR instance safely, which
 *    is done once again via \a rr_handover_locked().
 *
 *
 * Once a RR policy instance is in place (and getting updated as described),
 * calls to for a pick, a ping or a cancellation will be serviced right away by
 * forwarding them to the RR instance. Any time there's no RR policy available
 * (ie, right after the creation of the gRPCLB policy, if an empty serverlist is
 * received, etc), pick/ping requests are added to a list of pending picks/pings
 * to be flushed and serviced as part of \a rr_handover_locked() the moment the
 * RR policy instance becomes available.
 *
 * \see https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/load-balancing.md for the
 * high level design and details. */
