With the previous implementation of the haproxy mworker mode, VTest was waiting for the pidfile to be created to start the tests. From time to time it was causing issues, because the pidfile could be ready before haproxy is completely ready. With haproxy 3.1 and the new master-worker model this is even worse, because the pidfile is created before parsing the configuration, so haproxy is never ready.
This patch implements the -Ws mode of haproxy, which was initially made to support the sd_notify API of systemd. This mode sends READY=1 message over a SOCK_DGRAM unix socket once haproxy is completely ready. In order to receive the message, VTest binds on a UNIX sockets and stores the path of this socket in the NOTIFY_SOCKET environment variable. Once the message is received, VTest will start the tests.
