Move the callback invocation outside the critical section so that calling send() from within a ConfirmationCallback does not deadlock. Use swap instead of copy to extract the callback from the map, avoiding exception-safety issues with the bsl::function copy. Document that callbacks are invoked without internal locks held and that send/trySend may be called from within a callback. Fix the incomplete waitForConfirms documentation. Add a regression test that sends from inside a confirm callback with maxOutstandingConfirms=1 to verify no deadlock occurs.

Neither behavior is documented. The callback should be invoked after the mutex is released, and the GUID should be erased from the map before the callback is invoked.
Proposed changes
Move the callbacks out of the critical section, this has two potentially undesirable side effects I see: without the mutex, the caller provided callback could be called multiple times in parallel where it wasn't before the waitforconfirms future could callback if the confirm callback publishes.
