the py27 CI failed due to tox 2.5.0 release. The command
in tox.ini is required now[1].
This patch refactored the code tree to make CI work.

Design wire protocol for non RESTFul transports
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/zaqar/+spec/non-rest-wire-protocol
This specs represents the work to be done to design a wire protocol that will respect the current API v1.1 and that will also be useful for non-RESTFul transmission protocols.
Problem description
We currently have a well defined protocol that works well for HTTP. As a project, we're looking forward to welcome more transports that will work for different use-cases but we don't have a way to support them. This blueprint aims to define such protocol and the work needed to make it happen.
Proposed change
Based on the existing protocol defined in this wiki page[0] and the rough spec proposed here[1], I'm proposing we use similar to the one below and complete the work started by the api-layer blueprint[2].
This blueprint, however, does not propose an API layer that should be used by all transports. Instead, it proposes an API layer that will be used by transports relying on lower-level transmission protocols like: websocket, raw tcp, etc.
Ideally, one would expect Zaqar to support existing protocols like STOMP, AMQP, etc. While this may/may not be possible depending on the protocol, we should have a protocol that sticks to the service goals of being simple, straightforward and lightweight. Other protocols could be implemented as separate transports in the future.

Alternatives
- Don't do anything and let each transport implement it's protocol.
- Implement a transport on top of a different protocol
