Make async libs pass acctst as well

The "missaligned payload" [sic] error message comes from [here](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/blob/d77a96d23d962f996f12e29255aa29beed64c1b1/modules/ca/src/client/tcpiiu.cpp#L1200).

Make async libs pass acctst as well

Note: We have released v0.2.1 with asyncio repeatably passing `acctst`. More work is needed on the others and the one-off failures reported above.

Make async libs pass acctst as well

This issue referred to servers, not clients. `acctst` tests servers. IIRC, the trio and curio servers didn’t fail catastrophically but gave some output that raised some red flags. Worth running...

PVGroups backed by actual databases (e.g., elasticsearch)

Wow, cool.

Adjust exception logging for non-critical - or potentially spammy - situations

For beacons in particular, if they are repeatedly failing to send it might makes sense to warn one (last) time and keep quiet, or warn only occasionally.

Investigate max datagram size

@klauer Do you think we can close this in light of #369?

Add PyPy to our Azure (or other CI) build matrix

I am pleasantly surprised that it works and a little disappointed that the tests are slow. I wonder if the servers and clients themselves are slower or if the overhead...

Implement a SIGINFO handler / interactive command-line interface for caproto servers

I wonder if our best bet might be to integrate with IPython 7’s async features. The prompt can just be IPython, and you can interactively interrogate server-side Contexts and VCMs,...

Implement a SIGINFO handler / interactive command-line interface for caproto servers

Yeah, let’s keep this open to remind us to get around it. I belatedly acknowledge your jab about relying on an external library. Fair point. ;-)

Should caproto IOCs register their PVs with 'channel finder' on startup?

I suppose we could add a module-level hook for this. `caproto.function_that_gets_passed_all_channel_objects_on_init` or something
