0mq is just a set of messaging semantics on top of tcp/ipc sockets; so
its possible to test the entire tcp/ipc messaging flow standalone i.e.
without involving any openstack services.  That's what the current
test proposal includes - unit tests which mock out most things, and
base functional tests that validate the tcp/icp messaging flows via
the zmq-receiver proxy.  These are things that *just work* under a tox
environment and don't require any special setup.

This will be supplemented with good devstack support and full tempest
gate, but lets start from the bottom up please!  The work that's been
done so far allows us to move forward with bug fixing and re-factoring
that's backed up on having a base level of unit/functional tests.
