These functions can now take an object or a type (class).
If given an object, they will wrap subsequent calls to that object.
If given a type, they will return an object that can be instantiated
to create a new object, and all calls including __init__ will be
covered by the serialization or thread verification.
This decorator makes a class always be serialized, including its
instantiation, in a separate thread. This is an improvement over
the old Serializer() object wrapper, which didn't put the
instantiation into the new thread.
There's some bug with the testing harness where placing e.g.
from du import du
in nilmdb/utils/__init__.py doesn't quite work -- sometimes the
module "du" replaces the function "du". Not exactly sure why;
we work around that by just renaming files so they don't match
the imported names directly.
More work with nilmdb.stream_insert. Checks for overlap between
parser output and database intervals, and actually inserts the
data into pytables. Need to benchmark/figure out whether we can
use table.append rather than the row.append() nonsense -- it could
simplify things quite a bit.
Improve layout class and add tests to get more coverage. Better
error handling on invalid inputs (reports the reason for the error)
Replace layout.fillrow with layout.filltable, but turns out that we
can probably just remove it anyway.
Add nilmdb.Timer for simple timing tests
Move some duplicated test suite helper functions into a new file,
test_helper.py
Add class to test_interval.py to match the others

layouts, rather than direct dict objects. This allows us to go
backwards and match the description of tables in the database with the
layouts defined within nilmdb.layout.
Fix some big issues with the nilmdb.server and startup errors like an
invalid port number. We have to catch os._exit and report the error
ourselves.
Add some timeouts and otherwise clean up tests.
Make NilmDB track and complain about files that weren't closed before
the object is destroyed.
Update stream_list and /stream/list to return the layout corresponding
to each table.
