Before, we needed to always pack an entire msgpack_rpc Object to a continous memory buffer before sending it out to a channel. But this is generally wasteful. it is better to just flush whatever is in the buffer and then continue packing to a new buffer. This is also done for the UI event packer where there are some extra logic to "finish" of an existing batch of nevents/ncalls. This doesn't really stop us from flushing the buffer, just that we need to update the state machine accordingly so the next call to prepare_call() always will start with a new event (even though the buffer might contain overflow data from a large event).
