Rusoto does not implement timeouts or retries for any of its HTTP
requests. This is particularly problematic for the part upload stage of
multipart uploads, as a blip in the network could cause part uploads to
freeze for a long duration and eventually bail.
To avoid this, for part uploads, we add (a) (configurable) timeouts for
each request, and (b) retries with exponential backoff, upto a
configurable duration.
It is not clear if/how we want to do this for other types of requests.
The creation of a multipart upload should be relatively quick, but the
completion of an upload might take several minutes, so there is no
one-size-fits-all configuration, necessarily.
It would likely make more sense to implement some sensible hard-coded
defaults for these other sorts of requests.
A multipart upload should either be completed or aborted on error. In
the current state of things, a multipart upload would neither be
completed nor aborted, putting the onus on an external entity to take
care of finishing incomplete uploads or relying on a sane bucket
life cycle policy configured to abort incomplete multipart uploads.
An incomplete multipart upload still contributes to the storage costs as
long as it exists.
We introduce a property here to allow the user to select either aborting
or completing multipart uploads on error. Aborting the upload causes
whole of data to be discarded and the same upload ID is not usable for
uploading more parts to the same.
Completing an incomplete multipart upload can be useful in situations
like having a streamable MP4 where one might want to complete the upload
and have part of the data which was uploaded be preserved.

The design of the element is based on the assumption that when
receiving a partial result, the following result will contain
at least as many items as there were stable items in the previous
result.
This patch adds a sanity check to make sure our "partial index"
isn't larger than the new received result, and errors out otherwise.
partial_index will eventually be reset to 0 once we receive a
new non-partial result.
For the region property this would be provided as
`region-name+https://region.end/point`
while for the URI this unfortunately has to be base32 encoded to allow
usage as the host part of the URI.
