Add support for bulk track/engage APIs #3
Conversation
- `Mixpanel.engage` function added to update user profile
- `Mixpanel.track` and `Mixpanel.engage` will both support a list of maps
- When given a list, these functions expect the maps to conform to the structure defined by
the mixpanel HTTP api documentation (linked from README)

Hey Mike!
Thank you very much for the pull request!
I added some comments, mostly cosmetics, but I also think we should add some tests using ExVcr (which I should have done from the beginning, my bad).
If you want me to help out with the testing part, please let me know.
Thank you very much!

Both engage fns have the same body, could you collapse them into a single fn, please?

These could also be the same fn.

Does bulk posting a non-array work?
We should probably add some ex-vcr specs at this point.

could you dry up the encode/post/reply dance that's happening in all the handle_casts, please?
- Mixpanel.Client now only accepts lists of events - Mixpanel facade normalizes single events to lists of maps
- Note that these don't actually contain any asserts - And the ExVCR integration isn't working -- AFAICT the HTTPC adapter doesn't work with a custom :inets profile -- Even when using the default profile, the Mixpanel API is async, so need to wait in tests before asserting somehow

Hey Michi, thanks for considering this PR. I've tried to DRY up the implementation as per your feedback. I didn't have much luck with ExVCR. I've added the mix dependency and left the test module in there, but it just exercises the code without actually asserting on anything right now. |

@michihuber Any suggestions on getting the VCRs on this one working? |
