   On empty key vs. marker, sorry for going back and forth--let's settle this 
before you change the code again. 
   
   Taking a step back, the question we want to answer is "do all ShardedKeys 
have a shard id" or is the shard id optional. If the former, I think 
representing it as a `(bytes, K)` tuple makes sense, but if we ever want to 
talk about "not having" a shard id than it should, logically, be 
`(Optional[bytes], K)` and we should use an explicit bit rather than have a 
"special" value of bytes that means "not there".

> Improve the existing Beam transform, GroupIntoBatches, to allow runners to 
> choose different sharding strategies depending on how the data needs to be 
> grouped. The goal is to help with the situation where the elements to process 
> need to be co-located to reduce the overhead that would otherwise be incurred 
> per element, while not losing the ability to scale the parallelism. The 
> essential idea is to build a stateful DoFn with shardable states.
