Dispatcher UI: Browserstack process

[vv-monsalve]

Browserstack can take long, so it should be a warning message about this. Also, a way to actually end works that don't respond anymore... although that will be hard to decide

What I meant is something like a timeout or heartbeat for workers. To eventually kill them and to inform the dispatcher with an error message.

In gftools qa, I recently refactored it to speed up diffbrowsers for large families. It now runs on 4 styles at a time. It used to just be 1 style.

Ok, cool. How does it work? Can you point me to the commits that changed it?
