David Wilson cc980569a3 issue #159: initial context LRU implementation
Now Connection.close() *must* be called in the worker, to ensure the
reference count for a context drops correctly.

Remove 'discriminator' for now, I'm not using it for testing any more
and it complicated this code.

This code is a car crash, it needs rewritten again. Ideally some/most of
this behaviour could live on services.DeduplicatingService somehow, but
I couldn't come up with a sensible design.

David Wilson 3613162bc0 ansible: enable forking when requested and for async jobs.
Closes #105.
References #155.

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.

docs/ansible.rst:
    Add/merge/remove some behaviours/risks.

tests/ansible/integration:
    New tests for forking/async.

David Wilson 6aeb4e9f05 issue #164: precisely emulate Ansible's stdio behaviour.
* Use identical logic to select when stdout/stderr are merged, so
  'stdout', 'stdout_lines', 'stderr', 'stderr_lines' contain the same
  output before/after the extension.

* When stdout/stderr are merged, synthesize carriage returns just like
  the TTY layer.

* Mimic the SSH connection multiplexing message on stderr. Not really
  for user code, but so compare_output_test.sh needs fewer fixups.

David Wilson e0381606af Ensure remote_tmp is respected everywhere.
Logic is still somewhat different from Ansible: we don't have to care
about sudo/non-sudo cases, etc.

The solution was that Mitogen's loader should emulate the behaviour of
ansible.executor.module_common, which restricts dependency scanning to
the ansible.module_utils namespace.
