 Currently] the broker code is implemented only for App Engine; i.e. it
 doesn't have a `main` function and relies on being invoked using the App
 Engine APIs.

 Instead, the broker should run as a standalone HTTPS server somewhere, and
 App Engine should only be a dumb request/response forwarder (we can steal
 the [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/meek.git/tree/appengine?id=451320610020753ccaee2d533972a6ae5a1873c0
 forwarder code from meek]). That will make it possible to easily add
 domain fronts other than Google (#22782), and any secret data we handle on
 the broker won't have to be revealed to Google.
