Because the registration RPC was not really an RPC, but a bunch of
disconnected messages, it was possible for other messages to be
sent before the reply to the registration arrived, and that would
confuse the Worker. Especially in local-cluster mode, the worker was
succeptible to receiving an executor request before it received a
message from the master saying registration succeeded.
On top of the above, the change also fixes a ClassCastException when
the registration fails, which also affects the executor registration
protocol. Because the `ask` is issued with a specific return type,
if the error message (of a different type) was returned instead, the
code would just die with an exception. This is fixed by having a common
base trait for these reply messages.
