stream-server redesign #4
Description
The stream-server currently duplicates a great deal of code that is already in synthesis.py. This is because a handoff is effectively identical to launching a snapshot, but the data is shipped over a socket rather than read from a local zip file. I believe that the stream-server can be greatly simplified by factoring out the similarities and using methods that already exist in synthesis. Refactoring in this manner will reduce the number of places where changes need to be made and will eliminate discrepancies between the two sections of code.
