Athanasius 6d9942ece0 Switch bottle to using an 'app' instance.
This fixes the problem I was having (on two separate machines, Debian
stretch and Debian buster) with the Gateway not actually sending
messages out port 8500 to the Relay and Monitor.
  Something about the '@thing' syntax, or using bare 'run()' must be
interfering with zmq.green.  The latter ends up thinking there are no
active/matching sockets to send to[0], despite the sockets definitely
being there (complete with TCP 3-way handshake visible on tcpdump
output).
  With the problem:

	* no network traffic was observed on port 8500.
	* A test sender.send(...) just before the bottle run() call
	  *did* send the message.  A similar test at the start of the
	  @post('/upload/') function did not succeed.

[0] - I ended up putting debug prints in both python-zmq and the zeromq
'libzmq' libraries, building the Debian packages and installing those
versions.  I also ended up using 'gdb' on the process.  The end result
of this was to find that the _matching variable (a count of matching
sockets I think) was empty deep in libzmq, when it should be counting
sockets to send to.
  This was specifically in zeromq3-4.3.1/src/dist.cpp, in the
void zmq::dist_t::distribute (msg_t *msg_) function.  The immediate:

	    if (_matching == 0) {

test was true.  I didn't manage to track down which bit of libzmq code
should have been setting _matching before I 'recursed back up' the call
chain to investigate other things.
