 In https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/378 we've been discussing
 ways to make sure that the top-level master is always set on instances.

 Tom correctly rejected the global-master proposal.  I have, in fact, run
 multiple masters simultaneously in testing.

 I like the idea of a !MultiService subclass that will set `.master` on
 each child.  It's not clear if this should be done in the constructor (in
 which case !MultiService isn't really the right tool), at
 `setServiceParent`, or in `startService` (which I think may be too late
 for some purposes).
