massive refactoring to switch from camelCase to snake_case: historically, Libervia (SàT before) was using camelCase as allowed by PEP8 when using a pre-PEP8 code, to use the same coding style as in Twisted. However, snake_case is more readable and it's better to follow PEP8 best practices, so it has been decided to move on full snake_case. Because Libervia has a huge codebase, this ended with a ugly mix of camelCase and snake_case. To fix that, this patch does a big refactoring by renaming every function and method (including bridge) that are not coming from Twisted or Wokkel, to use fully snake_case. This is a massive change, and may result in some bugs.

==================================================
pipe: send/receive data stream through shell pipes
==================================================

``pipe`` commands allow you to send or receive data stream through a Unix shell pipe.
Libervia will create a network connection (using XMPP and Jingle) between you an your
contact.

in
==

Receive data stream. Data will be send to stdout, so it can be piped out or simply print
to the screen. You can specify bare jids of entities to accept stream for, by default all
streams are accepted.

example
-------

Receive a video stream, and redirect it to mpv_ so show the video::

  $ li pipe in | mpv -

.. _mpv: https://mpv.io/

out
===

Send data stream. Data comes from stdin, so you may use pipe in something or just write
some text.

The only expected argument is the full jid of the device where the stream must be piped
out.

example
-------

Send a video to louise::

 $ li pipe out louise@example.org/libervia.123 < some_video.webm

Send output from ``cal`` command to louise::

 $ cal | li pipe out louise@example.org/libervia.123
