Forking Python server.

The python threading model does not provide concurrency for CPU-bound
processes.  Process forking is the current recommended way of writing
scalable Python servers.

Harry Wang ran the [elided] backend with this change for 3 days and observed
no errors.  The threaded backend caused unexplained lockups under this load
after 24 hours.

I also ran a CPU-bound load test against this server with 32 concurrent
clients.  It completed 5X faster than the threaded implementation.
