Reverted the previous retry logic for backend - it didn't really work
This reverts commit 4e0e4863a0.
This reverts commit 964c7b5cf0.
This reverts commit 6ce348365f.
- More consistent naming for many methods, plus added a more extensive doc.
- Refactored the entry points for the daemon and the pusher into two
classes, easier to encapsulate and wrap into tests.
- Removed the local backend - managing the concurrency of two processes
reading and writing on the same socket at the same time was too much,
and its utility outside of the tests (which can have mock backends as
well) is quite modest.
- Managing stop events on the bus. Still some work to do tho.
- Fixed several bugs.
