Add helpers module to python wrapper

The helpers module in the python bindings allows for
extensions and convenience functions. Initially this
contains a "receive all" function that collects all
queued messages and returns an array of message summaries
to the caller.

This change also modifies the expected constants test
such that it includes a check for the MTCALL flag, and
does not fail if RMR produces more constants than
expected and/or needed.

+#               threaded call mode so that it will queue messages on a 2K ring
+#               and prevent the remote application(s) from blocking if we don't
+#               do timely receives.  Then we read 'bursts' of messages sleeping
+#               between reads to allow some message to pile up.
+#
+#               Because this programme does not send messages, there is no reason
