    Things the transport interface has to do:
    1. set up the connection to the destination
        - set up encryption
        - for Google cloud, log in using the user's gaia credential or whatever
        - for adb, just set up the all-in-one destination file
    2. send each app's backup transaction
        - parse the data file for key/value pointers etc
        - send key/blobsize set to the Google cloud, get back quota ok/rejected response
        - sd/adb doesn't preflight; no per-app quota
        - app's entire change is essentially atomic
        - cloud transaction encrypts then sends each key/value pair separately; we already
          parsed the data when preflighting so we don't have to again here
        - sd target streams raw data into encryption envelope then to sd?
    3. shut down connection to destination
        - cloud: tear down connection etc
        - adb: close the file
