+ Allocate a new generation number for a document modification.
+
+ We need to allocate a new generation to this document modification by
+ creating a new gen doc. In order to avoid concurrent database updates
+ from allocating the same new generation, we will try to create the
+ document until we succeed, meaning that no other piece of code holds
+ the same generation number as ours.
+
+ The loop below would only be executed more than once if:
+
+ 1. there's more than one thread trying to modify the user's database,
+ and
+
+ 2. the execution of getting the current generation and saving the gen
+ doc different threads get interleaved (one of them will succeed
+ and the others will fail and try again).
+
+ Number 1 only happens when more than one user device is syncing at the
+ same time. Number 2 depends on not-so-frequent coincidence of
+ code execution.
+
+ Also, in the race between threads for a generation number there's
+ always one thread that wins. so if there are N threads in the race, the
+ expected number of repetitions of the loop for each thread would be
+ N/2. If N is equal to the number of devices that the user has, the
+ number of possible repetitions of the loop should always be low.
