Problem
The upload queue currently sees significant head-of-line blocking. For example, index uploads act as upload barriers, and for every layer flush we schedule a layer and index upload, which effectively serializes layer uploads.
Resolves #10096.
Summary of changes
Allow upload queue operations to bypass the queue if they don't conflict with preceding operations.
