This adds a bunch of execution tests that require the "unicorn"
binary to be in PATH as well as rack being directly
"require"-able ("rubygems" will not be loaded for you). The
tester is responsible for setting up PATH and RUBYLIB
appropriately.

This allows changing certain variables without restarting the
master process or code reload. Currently, only the following
variables are supported: @timeout, @nr_workers, @hot_config_file.
Any other config changes will/should require re-executing the
running binary. This config file is run through eval(); so it
really users plenty of rope to hang themselves with. Of course,
it requires valid Ruby syntax:
------------------------- 8< ------------------------
@nr_workers = 8
@timeout = 15
@hot_config_file = "/var/tmp/new_hot_config_file"
------------------------- 8< ------------------------
Lowering the timeout will trigger all existing workers to be
gracefully stopped and restarted.
This file is loaded at startup, and overrides any config
settings that may already be loaded.

Along with worker process management. This is nginx-style
inplace upgrading (I don't know of another web server that does
this). Basically we can preserve our opened listen sockets
across entire executable upgrades.
Signals:
USR2 - Sending USR2 to the master unicorn process will cause
it to exec a new master and keep the original workers running.
This is useful to validate that the new code changes took place
are valid and don't immediately die. Once the changes are
validated (manually), you may send QUIT to the original
master process to have it gracefully exit.
HUP - Sending this to the master will make it immediately exec
a new binary and cause the old workers to gracefully exit.
Use this if you're certain the latest changes to Unicorn (and
your app) are ready and don't need validating.
Unlike nginx, re-execing a new binary will pick up any and all
configuration changes. However listener sockets cannot be
removed when exec-ing; only added (for now).
I apologize for making such a big change in one commit, but once
I got the ability to replace the entire codebase while preserving
connections, it was too tempting to continue working.
So I wrote a large chunk of this while hitting
the unicorn-hello-world app with the following loop:
while curl -vSsfN http://0:8080; do date +%N; done
_Zero_ requests lost across multiple restarts.
