GPII-1230, GPII-1235, GPII-442: Running application detection and support for more advanced MM

[kaspermarkus]

This branch is compatible with the advanced MM branch GPII-1230 of universal (GPII/universal#507). It contains the (relevant) code from Josephs GPII-442 branch

Could we get this updated to master and the conflicts removed? @JavierJF will be looking at this together with his work improving the structure of acceptance tests

Updated things on universal side, so:

ok to test

@amb26 With the help of Joseph's fix for GPII-2777 (which is actually a fix for GPII-2668 #156 ) and a bit of other changes, this is now finally passing

This should be routed through gpii.processReporter.handleIsRunning(), where the reference to gpii.processReporter.find() is given via the entry argument. That is, entry.options.queryProcess should look like:

 "queryProcess": [
            {
                "type": "gpii.processReporter.find",
                "command": "Magnify.exe"
            }
  ]
...

The technique is to evaluate a list of criteria to determine if a solution is running, and to declare how to do that in a solution's entry.

Further to my comment above, see the "Special Cases" in the ProcessReporter README, specifically the third paragraph

@kaspermarkus - bump

Hey @kaspermarkus
I decided to try out what I was talking about above. It works, but there were a number of finicky details. Since I've done it, I decided to make your life easier by branching off your code here, and then making a pull request that you can use.

I'm checking a few things right now, but expect to see something in the next little while, including some associated changes to the universal code (i.e. two pull requests against your code).

Hi there @kaspermarkus - could you update this to current master of universal etc. and check that it is still ok?
