Big reorg

It had to be done. I did a grand reorg of the code over the last two days in my effort to make testing easier, and add some functional tests. These tests will test that the core functionality of RPC works properly. It’s hard to test kernel features with unit tests because the interactions are so complex.

This reorg had a number of good effects because of simplification, and one sad effect.

• I am going to mothball the jdepp dependency analyzer I built. I’m pretty sad about this, but the new Makefile is much simpler than any prior version and is only slighly less accurate than the automatically generated ones from jdepp. The cost here is that targets can be rebuilt now that would not have been with a jdepp-generated Makefile. Go compiles sufficiently fast that this is a minor annoyance. Goodbye jdepp, at least for now.
• I got rid of all the “in the path” version names and variants. Although this likely would have some nice effects later, it was adding a lot of complexity. Without it, I can now have a single go.mod that applies to the whole repo. Similarly, the go.work is simplied to two lines, one for the parigot system and one for my only current example:

  go 1.19
  
  use (
      .
      ./example/vvv
  )
  

  The example is separated so it can have it’s own Makefile and packaging to work as an example of how to build without doing it in the parigot tree.

• I started work on a new file type that specifies how to run a particular set of wasm services. I guess this will be referred to as a “deployment file”. It’s TOML of course. I’ll write a post about this in the near future. It should simplify all the configuration of “runner” that was previously necessary.
