Inventory change feed
Listing events (listed, price and status changes, ...) written by the v2 crawler, in commit-safe
order (by writing transaction, then event id). Poll with the returned next_cursor; it is
returned even when the page is empty. An event becomes visible once every transaction older
than its own has finished (meta.watermark), which guarantees that a cursor never skips an
event committed later. Sites still written by the legacy pipeline (meta.emits_events: false)
have an empty feed until they are promoted.
