 * Control the Cloud C++ client library behavior with respect to polling on

 * Some operations in Cloud services return a `google.longrunning.Operation`
 * object. As their name implies, these objects represent requests that may take
 * a long time to complete, in some cases operations may take tens of seconds
 * or even 30 minutes to complete.
 *
 * The Cloud C++ client libraries models these long running operations
 * as a `google::cloud::future<StatusOr<T>>`, where `T` represents the final
 * result of the operation. In the background, the library polls the service
 * until the operation completes (or fails) and then satisfies the future.
 *
 * This class defines the interface for policies that control the behavior of
 * this polling loop.
 *
 * @see https://aip.dev/151 for more information on long running operations.
