> Sending a message through FlowControl (UFC, MFC) should not block if {{Message.Flag.NB_FC}} (non-blocking flow control) is set.
> Instead, the message should be added to a queue (bounded if {{max_size}} > 0, else unbounded). The max queue size is given in bytes, so we can estimate what the memory penalty for reaching that size would be (if bounded).
> The queued messages are sent when credits arrive. TBD: when credits arrive, should blocked threads or queued messages be released first?
> Non-blocking flow control can be used by both external and internal threads.
> If the queue is unbounded, then it is the responsibility of the application (e.g. Infinispan) to make sure the queue doesn't grow to an untenable size.
