Sprint 4 system blackbox separate gearslothds

[Virta]

Blackbox tests where instances of gearslothd are used separately. The tests use an sqlite adapter with 100 ms poll_timeout.

• a single instance of all components
  • immediate execution
• three instances of all components
  • immediate execution
  • 6 second delay execution

Tests do not pass locally or on vagrant, probably because a component fails. It seems that a task is sent to multiple bottom level workers when it expires. Perhaps something to do with the adapter not locking the task in time due to the lack of locking?

[Virta]

I cannot reproduce the failures anymore on the 'multiple instances' tests; before several bottom level workers got the task, which is in error of the protocol we're building.

[Virta]

The error, thankfully was in the tests I built. The function to submit the job was called many times; at first it was done when the last bottom level worker connected (but it sent several 'connect' events), then at the end of the async.series as a finalizing function, but it seems it too gets called multiple times each time a previous function has called the callback.

Tests pass, merging.
