tractor/examples/nested_actor_tree.py

'''
Demonstrate a (3-level) nested actor tree where one RPC from
the root fans out through a mid-tier 'supervisor' actor to
2 'leaf' worker actors and an aggregate result is relayed
back up.

The process tree should look approximately like:

python examples/nested_actor_tree.py
`-python -m tractor._child --uid ('supervisor', '7c9b1039 ..)
  |-python -m tractor._child --uid ('leaf_1', '92d62f50 ..)
  `-python -m tractor._child --uid ('leaf_2', 'de91fdf5 ..)

Teardown runs inside-out: the supervisor cancels its leaves
first, then the root cancels the supervisor; watch the
prints to see the ordering.
