Fix hang in bulk helper semaphore when server responses are slower th…

…an flushInterval (#2027)

* Set version to 8.10.1

* Add tests for bulk helper with various flush and server timeouts

* Copy and empty bulkBody when flushBytes is reached

Before it was waiting until after semaphore resolved, then sending with
a reference to bulkBody. If flushInterval is reached after `await
semaphore()` but before `send(bulkBody)`, onFlushTimeout is "stealing"
bulkBody so that there is nothing left in bulkBody for the flushBytes
block to send, causing an indefinite hang for a promise that does not
resolve.

* comment typo fixes
