Celery 4.0.2 passes the `multiple` keyword argument to `basic_ack`.
This did not used to occur with 3.1.20- so this change is only being
merged into the 4.0 branch. The desired functionality of this param is
documented here [0], but the Qpid transport uses UUIDs as the
delivery_tags so we don't have a record of the sequential messages
required to implement this. We use UUIDs as the deliver_tag to avoid
Issue #563.

With the functionality for the `multiple` parameter not implemented, an
AssertionError is raised if Celery attempts to meaningfully use the
`multiple` parameter with the Qpid transport. A developer or user who
encounters this AssertionError should file a bug with Kombu.
