David Wilson 4903052f42 fork: reseed Python/SSL PRNGs
Mac's SSL seems to have a pthread_atfork handler or similar that does
this for us, no clue if Linux is the same.

David Wilson 48351a1889 issue #155: parent: support Context.shutdown(), reap children on exit.
This permits graceful shutdown of individual contexts, without tearing
down everything.

Update mitogen.parent.Stream to also wait for the child to exit, to
prevent the buildup of zombie processes. This introduces a blocking wait
for process exit on the Broker thread, let's see if we can get away with
it. Chances are reasonable that it'll cause needless hangs on heavily
loaded machines.

David Wilson 6a74edce6b issue #155: parent: move master.Context into parent.
The Context and Router APIs for constructing children and making
function calls should be available in every parent context, as user code
wants to have access to the same API.

David Wilson 54ff1c90fa issue #155: add DEL_ROUTE, propagate ADD_ROUTE upwards
* IDs are allocated by the parent responsible for contructing a new
  child, using ALLOCATE_ID to the master as necessary to allocate new ID
  ranges.

* ADD_ROUTE is sent up the tree rather than down. This permits
  construction of the new context to complete concurrent to parent
  contexts learning about its existence. Since all streams are strictly
  ordered, it's not possible for any parent to observe messages from the
  new context prior to arrival of an ADD_ROUTE from the parent notifying
  of its existence.

  If the new context, for example, implements an Ansible async task, its
  parent can start executing that without waiting for any synchronous
  confirmation from any parent or the master.

* Since routes propagate up, it's no longer possible for a plain
  non-parent child to ever receive ADD_ROUTE, so that code can be moved
  out of core.py and into parent.py (-0.2kb compressed).

* Add a .routes attribute to parent.Stream, and respond to disconnection
  signal on the stream by propagating DEL_ROUTE for any ADD_ROUTE ever
  received from that stream.

* Centralize route management in a new parent.RouteMonitor class

David Wilson 20f5d89dfa issue #156: fix several more races
* Don't need to sleep if queue>sleepers, can just pop the right queue
  element and return it.

* If queue>sleeping and waking==sleeping, no mechanism existed to ensure
  a thread newly added to sleeping would ever be woken. Above change
  fixes that.

* Cannot trust select() return value, scheduler might sleep us
  indefinitely while put() writes a byte.

* Sleeping threads didn't pop FIFO, they popped in whatever order
  scheduler woke them up. Must recover index and use it to pick the pop
  index.
