// Pick a subset of the enabled datatypes, download updates for them from
// the server, place the result in the SyncSession for further processing.
//
// The main inputs to this operation are the last_download_timestamp state
// in the syncable::Directory, and the set of enabled types as indicated by
// the SyncSession. DownloadUpdatesCommand will fetch the enabled type
// or types having the smallest (oldest) value for last_download_timestamp.
// DownloadUpdatesCommand will request a download of those types and will
// store the server response in the SyncSession. Only one server request
// is performed per Execute operation. A loop that causes multiple Execute
// operations within a sync session can be found in the Syncer logic.
// When looping, the DownloadUpdatesCommand consumes the information stored
// by the StoreTimestampsCommand.
//
// In practice, DownloadUpdatesCommand should exhibit one of two behaviors.
// (a) If one or more datatypes has just been enabled, then they will have the
//     oldest last_download_timestamp value (0). DownloadUpdatesCommand will
//     choose to download updates for those types, and likely this will happen
//     for several invocations of DownloadUpdatesCommand. Once the newly
//     enabled types have caught up to the timestamp value of any previously
//     enabled timestamps, DownloadUpdatesCommand will do a fetch for those
//     datatypes. If nothing has changed on the server in the meantime,
//     then the timestamp value for the new and old datatypes will now match.
//     When that happens (and it eventually should), we have entered case (b).
// (b) The common case is for all enabled datatypes to have the same
//     last_download_timestamp value. This means that one server request
//     tells us whether there are updates available to any datatype.  When
//     the last_download_timestamp values for two datatypes is identical,
//     those datatypes will never be separately requested, and the values
//     will stay in lockstep indefinitely.
