I'm not entirely sure whether the fix is a good workaround, or whether we
should really bother with Kinesalite's incorrect behaviour at all in our
Kinesis connector.
I've considered the alternative is to just use the
`describeStream(streamName)` variant, always fetching the whole shard list and
explicitly ruling out shards we've already seen. That'll make the code clean of
such "workarounds", but will be problematic for Kinesis users whose shard count
exceeds the largest number of shards the API can return.
