Description

Right now, if a slave is idle and the master is hard killed (so it does not explicitly tell the slave to die), the slave will just wait happily for the master to send it another build.

Let's make the slave periodically "phone home" to make sure the master is still alive, and if it does not get a response from the master for a certain amount of time then it will kill itself in solidarity. :skull:
