To select the 'closest' measurement server to a bismark device, we need to
take latency measurements to that device. We need to:

* add a script to bismark-active to conduct pings to candidate set of
measurement servers
* get this list of servers from a special URL, i.e.
`api.projectbismark.net/devices/$DEVICE_ID/mserver_candidates`
* report results using normal bismark data reporting tools, but
use a different test code/identifier
* add this script with a low frequency (once every 8/12 hours?) to
bismark-active crontab
