__main__ creates an instance of your webserve.Server class then calls
Server.serve_forever().  That is all.  The serve_forever() function will
bind the port then enter the 'main' while loop to accept connections and
pass them to handle_connection().

If you look in the new test_webserve.py you can see how it will be called.
Webserve_Test._run_fake_socket() is a replacement for our serve_forever()
function, so our serve_forever() function should do the same thing but with
a real socket.

Those are pretty much the same as before, most of the changes for the
project come in the splitting up the parse_request() function into a wsgi
app and the means to call it correctly.
