This change blocks off 2 common scenarios where a race condition is
upgraded to a hang, when the library could internally do better.
* Since we don't know whether the receiver of a `reply_to` is expecting
a raw or pickled message, and since in the case of a raw reply, there
is no way to signal "dead" to the receiver, override the reply_to
field to explicitly mark a message as dead using a special handle.
This replaces the serialized _DEAD sentinel value with a slightly
neater interface, in the form of the reserved IS_DEAD handle, and
enables an important subsequent change: when a context cannot route a
message, it can send a generic 'dead' reply back towards the message
source, ensuring any sleeping thread is woken with ChannelError.
The use of this field could potentially be extended later on if
additional flags are needed, but for now this seems to suffice.
* Teach Router._invoke() to reply with a dead message when it receives a
message for an invalid local handle.
* Teach Router._async_route() to reply with a dead message when it
receives an unroutable message.
The module name comes from YAML via Jinja2.. it's always Unicode. Mixing
it into a temporary directory name produces a Unicode tempdir name,
which ends up in sys.argv via TemporaryArgv.
This is a partial fix, there are still at least 2 cases needing covered:
- In-progress connections must have CallError or similar sent to any
waiters
- Once connection delegation exists, it is possible for other worker
processes to be active (and in any step in the process), trying to
communicate with a context that we know can no longer be communicated
with. The solution to that isn't clear yet.
Additionally ensure root has /bin/bash shell in both Docker images.
And by "compatible" I mean "terrible". This does not implement async job
timeouts, but I'm not going to bother, upstream async implementation is
so buggy and inconsistent it resists even having its behaviour captured
in tests.
Presently there is still no mechanism to add :attr:`tty_stream` to the
multiplexer after connection is successful, but for now it's not
expected that anything will be logged to it anyway.
Closes#148.
- namespace & document test accounts in README.md
- standardize the password format everywhere, and ensure the passwords
differ everywhere.
- Add MITOGEN_TEST_DISTRO environment variable.
Closes#105.

mitogen/service.py:
Refactor services to support individually exposed methods with
different security policies for each method.
- @mitogen.service.expose() to expose a method and set its policy
- @mitogen.service.arg_spec() to validate input.
- Require basic service message format to be a tuple of
`(method, kwargs)`, where kwargs is always a dict.
- Update DeduplicatingService to match the new scheme.
ansible_mitogen/connection.py:
- Rename 'method' to 'method_name' to disambiguate it from the
service.call()'s method= argument.
ansible_mitogen/planner.py:
- Generate an ID for every job, sync or not, and fetch job results
from JobResultService rather than via the initiating function
call's return value.
- Planner subclasses now get to select whether their Runner should
run in a forked process. The base implementation requests this if
the 'mitogen_isolation_mode=fork' task variable is present.
ansible_mitogen/runner.py:
Teach runners to deliver their result via JobResultService executing
in their indirect parent mux process.
ansible_mitogen/plugins/actions/mitogen_async_status.py:
Split the implementation up into methods, and more compatibly
emulate Ansible's existing output.
ansible_mitogen/process.py:
Mux processes now host JobResultService.
ansible_mitogen/services.py:
Update existing services to the new mitogen.service scheme, and
implement JobResultService:
* listen() method for synchronous jobs. planner.invoke() registers a
Sender with the service prior to invoking the job, then sleeps
waiting for the service to write the job result to the
corresponding Receiver.
* Non-blocking get() method for implementing mitogen_async_status
action.
* Child-accessible push() method for delivering task results.
ansible_mitogen/target.py:
New helpers for spawning a virginal subprocess on startup, from
which asynchronous and mitogen_task_isolation=fork jobs are forked.
Necessary to avoid a task inheriting potentially
polluted/monkey-patched parent environment, since remaining jobs
continue to run in the original child process.

New tests for forking/async.
