// Interface for classes that handle invalidation registrations and send out
// invalidations to register handlers.
//
// Invalidation clients should follow the pattern below:
//
// When starting the client:
//
//   frontend->RegisterInvalidationHandler(client_handler);
//
// When the set of IDs to register changes for the client during its lifetime
// (i.e., between calls to RegisterInvalidationHandler(client_handler) and
// UnregisterInvalidationHandler(client_handler):
//
//   frontend->UpdateRegisteredInvalidationIds(client_handler, client_ids);
//
// When shutting down the client for browser shutdown:
//
//   frontend->UnregisterInvalidationHandler(client_handler);
//
// Note that there's no call to UpdateRegisteredIds() -- this is because the
// invalidation API persists registrations across browser restarts.
//
// When permanently shutting down the client, e.g. when disabling the related
// feature:
//
//   frontend->UpdateRegisteredInvalidationIds(client_handler, ObjectIdSet());
//   frontend->UnregisterInvalidationHandler(client_handler);
//
// If an invalidation handler cares about the invalidator state, it should also
// do the following when starting the client:
//
//   invalidator_state = frontend->GetInvalidatorState();
//
// It can also do the above in OnInvalidatorStateChange(), or it can use the
// argument to OnInvalidatorStateChange().
//
// It is an error to have registered handlers when an
// InvalidationFrontend is shut down; clients must ensure that they
// unregister themselves before then. (Depending on the
// InvalidationFrontend, shutdown may be equivalent to destruction, or
// a separate function call like Shutdown()).
//
// NOTE(akalin): Invalidations that come in during browser shutdown may get
// dropped.  This won't matter once we have an Acknowledge API, though: see
// http://crbug.com/78462 and http://crbug.com/124149.
