David Wilson 7c88e4d013 Move _DEAD into header, autogenerate dead messages
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.

David Wilson 6670cba41c Introduce handler policy functions; closes #138.
Now you can specify a function to add_handler() that authenticates the
message header, with has_parent_authority() and is_immediate_child()
built in.

David Wilson 8676c40674 core: make _start_transmit / _stop_transmit async-only
For now at least, these APIs are always used in an asynchronous context,
so stop using the defer mechanism.

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 bdd8648bae ssh: enable compression by default
Using the same test as in 7af97c0365,
transmitted wire bytes drops from 135,531 to 133,071 (-1.81%), while
received drops from 21,073 to 14,775 (-30%).

Combined, both changes shave 13,914 bytes (-8.6%) off aggregate
bandwidth usage.

Make it configurable as compression hurts in some scenarios.
