Multiprocessing Log Handler

[mitsuhiko]

For multiprocessing a log handler is needed that sends data to another process.

That is implemented now but the problem is that the interface is stupid. The ZeroMQ implementation is much more useful there and also provides a way to handle background threads.

Because the multi processing handler is using a multiprocessing queue it should probably be moved to the queues module and gain a similar interface to the ZeroMQ one. Maybe with a bit of magic that parent and child automatically select the correct side (handler / subscriber) which is usually not necessary for the ZeroMQ setup.

Fixed. They share a common baseclass now and a compatible interface.
