This may require just doing an mv on the home directory, plus changing
the home directory in /etc/passwd. It should of course be done carefully.

At Ksplice we used /usr/bin/python because we shipped dependencies as Debian /
Red Hat packages, which would be installed against the system Python. We were
also very careful to use only Python 2.3 features so that even old system
Python would still work.
None of that is true at Humbug. We expect users to install dependencies
themselves, so it's more likely that the Python in $PATH is correct. On OS X
in particular, it's common to have five broken Python installs and there's no
expectation that /usr/bin/python is the right one.
The files which aren't marked executable are not interesting to run as scripts,
so we just remove the line there. (In general it's common to have libraries
that can also be executed, to run test cases or whatever, but that's not the
case here.)

Realistically, if the bot crashes once, it'll probably crash the next
time too, so I'm not convinced we need this loop at all, but in the
interests of avoiding churn on an extensively tested script, I'm going
to err on the side of the minimal change here.

Fixes#602.
I replaced the SIGKILL with a SIGINT, and then catch SIGINT with a
handler. This handler calls cancelSubs if necessary, and can later be
edited to perform other clean-up operations, too. I thought about, in
this same commit, changing the SIGTERM in
maybe_restart_mirroring_script to a SIGINT, but after tracing out the
code paths, I realized that isn't necessary. (The SIGTERM is
necessarily performed on a process that has not subscribed to any
zephyr classes, so cancelSubs is unnecessary. If we do think that we
may want to add additional clean-up operations in the future, though,
then it might be worth investigating changing this SIGTERM.)

Bots are not part of what we distribute, so put them in the repo root.
We also updated some of the bots to use relative path names.

Previously, if users of our code put the API folder in their pyshared
they would have to import it as "humbug.humbug". By moving Humbug's API
into a directory named "humbug" and moving the API into __init__, you
can just "import humbug".

This commit changes APIs and requires and update of all zephyr
mirroring bots to deploy properly.

This improves the throughput of mirroring a large number of zephyrs in
a row from about 1.5/second to about 9/second, which is basically
satisfactory.

Personals are now just private messages between two people (which
sometimes manifests as a private message with one recipient). The
new message type on the send path is 'private'. Note that the receive
path still has 'personal' and 'huddle' message types.

Previously messages sent to zephyr instance " " wouldn't be forwarded
zephyr=>humbug because the target instance is the null instance; I
learned this when we got a few tracebacks in the zephyr_mirror log, so
clearly this does happen.

This is useful for trying out new versions of the forwarding code
while the mirroring bot is still running in production.
