Commit b36b70c2ab9ce19b7d56b2e6c9ca9b2383e369bf in qpid-proton's branch 
refs/heads/master from [~aconway]

PROTON-1512: aborted messages: handle credit and empty messages.

The AMQP spec says: "The delivery-count is initialized by the sender when a link
endpoint is created, and is incremented whenever a message is sent."
http://docs.oasis-open.org/amqp/core/v1.0/os/amqp-core-transport-v1.0-os.html#doc-flow-control

We interpret this to mean when the *first* frame of a message is sent/received,
so if any frames of an aborted message are sent, it consumes a credit and
increases the delivery count exactly like a successful message.

However: if a proton sender calls pn_delivery_abort() *before* any frames have
been sent, the delivery is dropped locally, no frames sent, no link-state
updates. This means pn_delivery_abort() will either cancel a local,
partially-constructed message with no side effects, or send an aborted=true
frame as required. Proton will never send a message consisting of a single
aborted frame.

A proton receiver will handle a message consisting of a single aborted frame
correctly - i.e. do credit calculations but consider the delivery aborted.

>
> As we develop support for message streaming in Qpid Dispatch Router (i.e. 
> frames for large multi-frame messages are forwarded to destinations as they 
> arrive, before the complete message is received), there is a need to handle 
> the case where a received message is never completed.
> The AMQP protocol has a provision for this in the "aborted" flag in the 
> transfer performative.  If the router is in the process of streaming a large 
> message from sender to receiver and the sender drops before completing the 
> delivery, the router can send a transfer to the downstream receivers with the 
> "aborted" flag set.  This would indicate that the message should not be 
> processed and would not cause any framing errors on the link.
> Proton does not currently expose this capability in its API (There is a 
> pn_link_abort in the C header file, but it is commented out and not 
> implemented).
> In order to properly handle the failure cases for message streaming, this 
> feature must be usable in Proton.
