Dan Krause c386a5f9d4 Adds a single threaded flow conductor
Creates a new conductor module that can be used
to connect into the jobboard, engine, and persistence
mechanism.

This commit adds in support for a simple conductor
that will run jobs in its own thread and will dispatch
them, and consume/abandon them.

Implements: blueprint generic-flow-conductor
