Every process is potentially the child of some other process and the parent of zero or more child processes of its own, so it's confusing to use terminology that always treats the current global.process as a "parent" process, or to include PARENT and CHILD in the message types. Instead, this new implementation uses message types MESSAGE, RESPONSE, PING, and PONG, and refers to `process` and `otherProcess` objects, with the caveat that sometimes `process === otherProcess`, because `process.send` can be used to send messages to the parent process. Instead of relying on the child to send a special CHILD_READY message to the parent when it's ready to receive messages, the sending process polls the receiving process with a preflight PING message, and the receiving process immediately responds with a PONG when ready.
