Control a test toxiproxy server

Control a server for use with testing. This is designed to be used only by other packages that wish to run tests against a toxiproxy server. You will need to set TOXIPROXYR_SERVER_BIN_PATH to point at the directory containing the toxiproxy binary.

Details

The function toxiproxy_server_install will install a server, but only if the user opts in by setting the environment variable TOXIPROXYR_SERVER_INSTALL to "true", and by setting TOXIPROXYR_SERVER_BIN_PATH to the directory where the binary should be downloaded to. This will download a ~10MB binary from https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/releases so use with care. It is intended only for use in automated testing environments.
