This ensures that Humbug receives the verbatim text of the Nagios
body, rather than a slightly modified version. Tested by running
manually.

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.

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.

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