For the 52 submodules of ansible.modules.system, this produced a 1602
byte pkg_present list. After stripping it becomes 406 bytes, and the
entire LOAD_MODULE size drops from 1988 bytes to 792 bytes (-60%).
For the 68 submodules of ansible.module_utils, 1902 bytes pkg_present
becomes 474 bytes (-75%), and LOAD_MODULE size drops from 2867 bytes to
1439 bytes (-49%).
In a simple test running Ansible's "setup" module followed by its "apt"
module, wire bytes sent drops from 140,357 to 135,531 (-3.4%).
* Start splitting docs up into internals.rst / api.rst
* Docs for lots more of econtext.core.
* Get rid of _update_stream() and has_output(), replace with individual
functions called as state changes.
* Add Broker.on_thread() and remove Stream._lock: simply call
on_thread() to ensure buffer management is linearized.
* Rename read_side/write_side to receive_side/transmit_side like event
handler names.
* Clean up some more repr / debug logs.
* Move handle cleanup to Context.on_shutdown where it belongs.
* Make wake() a noop when called from broker thread.
* Replace graceful_count crap with Side.graceful attribute, add
Broker.keep_alive() to check whether any registered readers want to
be kept alive for graceful shutdown() or any child contexts with a
connected stream exist.
* Make master.Broker timeout slightly longer than slave broker.
* Add generic on_thread() to allow running code on the IO thread.
