[Twisted-Python] Job server

Hello

I will write a README and INSTALL documents asap but I did not have
anything about USAGE document in my mind. I will take care of it also.
Thank you for your advice.

Migrating a job during processing is not available yet but I think I
can find a way to provide that within Multiple Job Handler but I dont
have any idea at the moment. Multiple Job Handler idea is based on
separating jobs into small pieces with a job wizard tool. I know that
sounds very limited but I will make it flexible as much as I can then
people will be available to add their own patterns. For example; lets
say we have an uploaded photo and we need to resize it and save into
our storage then we need to update database with this new information.
In that case, Multiple Job Handler sends this job to different workers
with related information and collects the answers for any necessary
response. If anything goes wrong with these workers Multiple Job
Handler sends broken part(s) of the main request to another server.
That s just came into my mind right now. That s not exactly a
migration process but could be work.

Actually for now, I want to create a job farm around a single jobbar
server and sync them with other farms. In that way all servers would
serve all jobs in whole platform. That s what I m trying to do first.
The missing part here is that pushing forward on wrong remote call
requests. That means if we couldnt find any worker connection when we
got a remote call, we should push it to another server with another
remote call. I ll add that asap. This is kind of a hobby for me and I
m pretty busy with my regular job these days :(

I hope I explain the idea in my mind clearly.
