// SpawnerCommunicator communicates with a spawner server that runs on a
// remote system.
//
// The test server used by unit tests is written in Python. However, Android
// does not support running Python code, so the test server cannot run on the
// same device running unit tests.
//
// The actual test server is executed on the host machine, while the unit tests
// themselves continue running on the device. To control the test server on the
// host machine, a second HTTP server is started, the spawner server, which
// controls the life cycle of remote test servers. Calls to start/kill the
// net::TestServer are then redirected to the spawner server via this spawner
// communicator.
//
// Currently only three commands are supported by spawner.
//
// (1) Start Python test server, format is:
// Path: "/start".
// Method: "POST".
// Data to server: all arguments needed to launch the Python test server, in
//   JSON format.
// Data from server: a JSON dict includes the following two field if success,
//   "port": the port the Python test server actually listen on that.
//   "message": must be "started".
//
// (2) Kill Python test server, format is:
// Path: "/kill".
// Method: "GET".
// Data to server: None.
// Data from server: String "killed" returned if success.
//
// (3) Ping Python test server to see whether it is alive, format is:
// Path: "/ping".
// Method: "GET".
// Data to server: None.
// Data from server: String "ready" returned if success.
//
// The internal I/O thread is required by net stack to perform net I/O.
// The Start/StopServer methods block the caller thread until result is
// fetched from spawner server or timed-out.
