This PR implements a new mechanism for optimizing the EH sender throughput.
Previously we observed in multiple cases that the limited throughput when sending data to a single partition caused bottlenecks in the application (#268, #240).
With this new mechanism, anytime a partition sender needs to send large amounts of data (large messages, or many small messages), it does not send the messages directly via EH, but writes them to a blob batch, then sends a message containing the blob name. The receiver then loads the data from the blob batch.
This may also resolve #272 since it replaces some of the code that was identified as the likely source of the error.
