[ https://svn.apache.org/r1594588 ]

QPID-DISPATCH-52: Automated system test of dispatch sending messages through a 
broker queue.

Using waypoints, the test sends a message into dispatch, out to a broker queue,
back to dispatch fromt the queue and delivers to a dispatch subscriber.

Gotchas:
- broker and broker queue must be set up before starting dispatch.
- must wait for dispatch to connect to the broker before sending message.

Improvements:
- system_tests.TestCase.get_port: check if port is used before returning it.
- Qdrouter.is_connected: test if router has a connection using management info.
- additional logging in waypoint.c
- fixed test/config_build.sh env to find qdstat

> Create a demonstration of a distributed work queue consisting of multiple 
> brokers with the following requirements:
> - Producers send to a single address, consumers subscribe to a single address.
> - Each message is delivered to exactly one of the consumers (not fault 
> tolerant/transactional)
> - Consumers may connect and disconnect during the exercise without message 
> loss.
> - Messages are roughly balanced over consumers.
> - All messages are delivered even if all but one consumer disconnects.
>   - In particular, messages do not get "stuck" on one broker because the 
> consumer is only receiving from another brokers.
> Goals: 
> 1. Discover what changes to dispatch are needed to achieve this 
> demonstration, enhance dispatch in a flexible way to support this and other 
> possible "orchestration" tasks.
> 2. Once basic functionality is in place, explore further issues such as
>    - Performance: what overhead does dispatch add in throughput and latency 
> vs. direct broker access?
>    - Scalability: can we scale total throughput linearly by adding brokers 
> (and perhaps dispatch routers)?
> Are there limits/bottlenecks in dispatch that need to be addressed in order 
> to scale?
>    - HA: If we use fault tolerant broker clusters can we get reliable 
> at-least-once delivery? What changes to dispatch are needed to handle 
> fail-over?
> 3. Build a similar demo of a distributed topic (TODO specify in more detail), 
> to see if the extensions to dispatch are sufficient to support a different 
> type of orchestration.
> 4. Push improvements into dispatch as they become mature/usable in a general 
> context.
