Features include:
* Not forking into two processes (shells out to zwrite to send
instead). This makes life easier since we're not doing concurrent
programming.
* Eliminated a lot of hard-to-read or unnecessary debugging output.
* Adding explanatory test suggesting the likely problem for some
common sets of received messages.
* Much less code duplication.
* Support for testing a sharded zephyr_mirror script (--sharded).
* Use of the logging module to print timestamps -- makes debugging
some issues a lot.
* Only one sleep, and for only 10 seconds, between sending the
outgoing messages and checking that they were received.
* Support for running two copies of this script at the same time, so that
running it manually doesn't screw up Nagios.
* Passed running 100 tests run in a row.

We should be canonicalizing stream names to class names in
update_subscriptions_from_humbug, before we even decide which classes
to subscribe to; otherwise deduplication and tracking of which classes
we're already subscribed to won't work.

This causes e.g. call_on_each_message to switch to dont_block mode
after the first error.

Also fixes bugs where the retry code wouldn't work correctly if
verbose wasn't set, prints out which API query had the error, and is
more consistent about printing something to end the "..." sequences.

Previously, we were sending "Skipping message we got from Humbug!"
for messages we wouldn't have forwarded anyway.

In this case, if we're configured to not forward personals, there's no
point in logging a decision not to forward one.

It seems that check-mirroring was reporting a lot of spurious failures
due to it sometimes taking more than 3 seconds for the setup phase of
check-mirroring's receive path to run. So fix this:
(1) Wait a bit more than 3 seconds for the receiver to subscribe to
messages
(2) Subscribe to Humbug messages before forking (we can't do this with
zephyr.init() because python-zephyr gets totally messed up if you use
it from multiple processes with a shared initialization)
(3) Get rid of the old time.sleep(0.x) values that were intended to
make messages arrive in order -- since we're now checking that
messages correctly arrived using set(), they aren't needed.
(4) Use a single request to subscribe to both zephyr classes we need
to subscribe to (saves 1 RTT).

- The default 'default' is None
- The default 'dest' is the option name, with - replaced with _
- The default 'action' is 'store'
Not coincidentally, these defaults are correct for most of our existing code.
