Whenever we run Lighthouse we run it in its own process, this is to allow it to fail gracefully without taking down the rest of the scans.
However, the management of these Lighthouse processes isn't exactly handled gracefully and may result in their being rogue Lighthouse processes.
This PR aims to solve that by adding a process management interface that hooks into the signals from the parent process, ensuring processes remain in sync.
We also implement safer and more granular messaging between the Lighthouse process and the parent process using a strict IPC format.
