// An implementation of an operations chain. An operations chain is used to
// ensure that asynchronous tasks are executed in-order with at most one task
// running at a time. The notion of an operation chain is defined in
// https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#dfn-operations-chain, though unlike this
// implementation, the referenced definition is coupled with a peer connection.
//
// An operation is an asynchronous task. The operation starts when its functor
// is invoked, and completes when the callback that is passed to functor is
// invoked by the operation. The operation must start and complete on the same
// sequence that the operation was "chained" on. As such, the OperationsChain
// operates in a "single-threaded" fashion, but the asynchronous operations may
// use any number of threads to achieve "in parallel" behavior.
//
// When an operation is chained onto the OperationsChain, it is enqueued to be
// executed. Operations are executed in FIFO order, where the next operation
// does not start until the previous operation has completed. OperationsChain
// guarantees that:
// - If the operations chain is empty when an operation is chained, the
//   operation starts immediately, inside ChainOperation().
// - If the operations chain is not empty when an operation is chained, the
//   operation starts upon the previous operation completing, inside the
//   callback.
//
// An operation is contractually obligated to invoke the completion callback
// exactly once. Cancelling a chained operation is not supported by the
// OperationsChain; an operation that wants to be cancellable is responsible for
// aborting its own steps. The callback must still be invoked.
//
// The OperationsChain is kept-alive through reference counting if there are
// operations pending. This, together with the contract, guarantees that all
// operations that are chained get executed.

  // sequence that this method was invoked on.
  //
  // If the OperationsChain is empty, the operation starts immediately.
  // Otherwise it starts upon the previous operation completing.
  //
  // Requirements of FunctorT:
  // - FunctorT is movable.
  // - FunctorT implements "T operator()(std::function<void()> callback)" or
  //   "T operator()(std::function<void()> callback) const" for some T (if T is
  //   not void, the return value is discarded in the invoking sequence). The
  //   operator starts the operation; when the operation is complete, "callback"
  //   MUST be invoked, and it MUST be so on the sequence that ChainOperation()
  //   was invoked on.
