/// A load-balancer which maintains to a set of subchannels and uses round-robin to pick a
/// subchannel when picking a subchannel to use.
///
/// This load-balancer starts in an 'idle' state and begins connecting when a set of addresses is
/// provided to it with ``updateAddresses(_:)``. Repeated calls to ``updateAddresses(_:)`` will
/// update the subchannels gracefully: new subchannels will be added for new addresses and existing
/// subchannels will be removed if their addresses are no longer present.
///
/// The state of the load-balancer is aggregated across the state of its subchannels, changes in
/// the aggregate state are reported up via ``events``.
///
/// You must call ``close()`` on the load-balancer when it's no longer required. This will move
/// it to the ``ConnectivityState/shutdown`` state: existing RPCs may continue but all subsequent
/// calls to ``makeStream(descriptor:options:)`` will fail.
///
/// To use this load-balancer you must run it in a task:
///
/// ```swift
/// await withDiscardingTaskGroup { group in
///   // Run the load-balancer
///   group.addTask { await roundRobin.run() }
///
///   // Update its address list
///   let endpoints: [Endpoint] = [
///     Endpoint(addresses: [.ipv4(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 1001)]),
///     Endpoint(addresses: [.ipv4(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 1002)]),
///     Endpoint(addresses: [.ipv4(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 1003)])
///   ]
///   roundRobin.updateAddresses(endpoints)
///
///   // Consume state update events
///   for await event in roundRobin.events {
