Fix bug in which worker import counters were treated incorrectly. (#28)

* Fix bug in which worker import counters were treated incorrectly.

* Fix bug in which cached functions-to-run were double counted as exports. This also runs the functions-to-run on the driver only after ray.init is called.

* Only define reusable variables locally after ray.init has been called.

* Remove flaky reference counting tests. It's not clear that these tests make sense.

* Make numbuf pip install verbose.

* Export cached reusable variables before cached remote functions.

* Fix bug causing the worker to hang sometimes. This happens when the worker is trying to run a task, but it hasn't imported enough imports to run the task, so it continually acquires and releases a lock while checking if it has enough imports. However, for some reason, the import thread is waiting to acquire the same lock and never does so (or takes a very long time to do so). By dropping the lock before sleeping, this makes it easier for other threads to acquire the lock.

* Acquire locks using 'with' statements.

* Fix possible test failure.

* Try to start Redis multiple times with different random ports if the original attempt failed.

* Fix test in which we redefine a remote function.
