The refactoring that we did a couple weeks ago to make the zephyr
mirror script restart itself automatically (by splitting it into
zephyr_mirror.py and zephyr_mirror_backend.py) had a poor interaction
with our code for killing old zephyr_mirror processes (to prevent
double-mirroring). If you manually ran two copies of the outer
mirroring script (zephyr_mirror.py), then the second one would on
startup kill the first one's zephyr_mirror_backend.py children (for
being duplicate zephyr_mirror_backend.py processes that would result
in double-mirroring). However, importantly, it did not kill the first
mirroring script's zephyr_mirror.py parent process, so the first
mirroring script would then proceed to startup up new children. The
process then repeats, with the two scripts' roles reversed.
This issue didn't affect the sharded mirroring case, where I had been
doing the testing of the kill code with that refactoring, because we
don't have a version of the outer zephyr_mirror.py loop for that
situation (a consequence of it being hard to restart the threads
properly with the run_parallel API that we're using to spawn all the
children).

This is probably a lot more annoying to use, in that e.g. there are
separate log files for the two directions of the mirror, but we
haven't used these logs for much, so whatever.

Previously all that we logged was the sender, which turns out to be a
constant for humbug=>zephyr mirroring.

feedback-bot and zephyr_mirror will need to be updated and restarted
when this is deployed to prod.

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.

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.
