Accept spec in JSON format and request compute reconfiguration from the configurator thread. If anything goes wrong after we set the compute state to `ConfigurationPending` and / or sent spec to the configurator thread, we basically leave compute in the potentially wrong state. That said, it's control-plane's responsibility to watch compute state after reconfiguration request and to clean restart it in case of errors. It still lacks ability of starting up without spec and some validations, i.e. that live reconfiguration should be only available with `--compute-id` and `--control-plane-uri` options. Otherwise, it works fine and could be tested by running `compute_ctl` locally, then sending it a new spec: ```shell curl -d "$(cat ./compute-spec-new.json)" http://localhost:3080/spec ``` We have one configurator thread and async http server, so generally we have single consumer - multiple producers pattern here. That's why we use `mpsc` channel, not `tokio::sync::watch`. Actually, concurrency of producers is limited to one due to code logic, but we still need an ability to potentially pass `Sender` to several threads. Next, we use async `hyper` + `tokio` http server, but all the other code is completely synchronous. So we need to send data from async to sync, that's why we use `mpsc::unbounded_channel` here, not `mpsc::channel`. It doesn't make much sense to rewrite all code to async now, but we can consider doing this in the future. I think that a combination of `Mutex` and `CondVar` would work just fine too, but as we already have `tokio`, I decided to try something from it.
