Because pythons GIL ☺

This reverts commit 58697377.

So we push data faster. Maybe.

Disable the old connection without compression. It is no longer used, so
don't sit on the port.

And leave the rest for DB

The timeout should be longer than when the server or client drops the
connection. This will help cleaning up „forgotten“ socats.

Not that they'd be considered insecure, just extra paranoia.

Support TLS and use compression

So we can place a socat sooner in the path, with better capabilities.

It is not supported on ubuntu in socat yet, which is what our server
runs.

To provide a SSL proxy. This moves it out of the python process, so it
can keep up with the load.

When the application is terminated by CTRL+C, it shuts down the activity
thread gracefully, flushing all previous data first.

Obviously, without the key being in the repository.

Unfortunately, twisted seems to be lacking SSL-TCP-IPv6 support :-(.
Using IPv4 for now, but needs to be discussed.

Which can be turned off, because we don't want that for the clients.

Don't crash because of error in variable name.

Load the plugins dynamically based on content of configuration. Pass
configuration dictionary to them too.

They don't handle the configuration yet.

Let the groups aggregate keys, print only the aggregated results.

Support aggregation of keys from multiple clients in a given group and
extraction of aggregated results.

Add another log level, TRACE, which is more verbose than DEBUG.

It is already complex and will become even more, so it deserves its own
directory.

Send the config when the client connects

Create the plugin and let it ask for data from time to time. The data
aren't parsed yet, nor processed.

Write skeleton of the plugin storage (plugin.Plugins), plugin
(plugin.Plugin) and register the clients correctly.
