#4257: Stem / TorCtl Integration

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 As the saying goes: commit early, commit often. Rather than completing
 stem then tossing it over the wall, the stem-integration branch of my
 TorCtl repo [1] has a bite sized commit to start making use of it:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/atagar/pytorctl.git/commitdiff/d3a12d5724e44dac9096a56d0706bbc342efa304

 This replaces TorCtl's _read_reply and related util functionality with
 stem's ControlMessage class and parsing [2], which has unit [3] and
 integration [4] tests. Doing a series of small commits like this will let
 TorCtl users take advantage of the tests I'm writing for stem without a
 need for changes on their part.

 Cheers! -Damian

 PS. Historically my TorCtl patches collect a lot of dust, so I'm testing
 the waters a bit with this ticket. If there isn't time or interest on your
 part to make this happen then it ain't gonna happen and I'll focus on stem
 solely rather than using it as a means to improve TorCtl.
