   Prior to this commit, use of the `disco.Session` API to broadcast or scatter 
an array required several steps from the caller.
   
   1. Allocate memory on worker0
   2. Transfer data from the controller to worker0
   3. Allocate memory on each worker
   4. Broadcast/scatter data from worker0 to all workers
   
   While exposing these steps is necessary for performance, especially when 
used repeatedly, it can be tedious/error-prone to use for initialization that 
is only performed once.
   
   This commit adds utility methods `Session.broadcast` and `Session.scatter`, 
which are implemented in terms of the existing lower-level methods 
`Session.broadcast_from_worker0` and `Session.scatter_from_worker0`.  These 
methods perform the transfer from the controller to worker0, and from worker0 
to all other workers.
