// The WinHttpRequestThrottle class regulates the rate at which we call
// WinHttpSendRequest, ensuring that at any time there are at most 6 WinHTTP
// requests in progress for each server or proxy.
//
// The throttling is intended to cause WinHTTP to maintain at most 6
// persistent HTTP connections with each server or proxy.  This works well in
// most cases, except when making HTTPS requests via a proxy, in which case
// WinHTTP may open much more than 6 connections to the proxy in spite of our
// rate limiting.
//
// Because we identify a server by its hostname rather than its IP address,
// we also can't distinguish between two different hostnames that resolve to
// the same IP address.
//
// Although WinHTTP has the WINHTTP_OPTION_MAX_CONNS_PER_SERVER option to
// limit the number of connections allowed per server, we can't use it
// because it has two serious bugs:
// 1. It causes WinHTTP to not close idle persistent connections, leaving
//    many connections in the CLOSE_WAIT state.  This may cause system
//    crashes (Blue Screen of Death) when VPN is used.
// 2. It causes WinHTTP to crash intermittently in
//    HTTP_REQUEST_HANDLE_OBJECT::OpenProxyTunnel_Fsm() if a proxy is used.
// Therefore, we have to resort to throttling our WinHTTP requests to achieve
// the same effect.
//
// Note on thread safety: The WinHttpRequestThrottle class is only used by
// the IO thread, so it doesn't need to be protected with a lock.  The
// drawback is that the time we mark a request done is only approximate.
// We do that in the HttpTransactionWinHttp destructor, rather than in the
// WinHTTP status callback upon receiving HANDLE_CLOSING.
