This increases test coverage, and gets the worker protocol ready to be
used by Hydra.
Why don't we just try to use the store interface in Hydra? Well, the
problem is that the store interface works on connection pools, with each
opreation getting potentially a different connection, but the way temp
roots work requires that we keep one logical "transaction" (temp root
session) using the same connection.
The longer-term solution probably is making connections themselves
implement the store interface, but that is something that builds on
this, so I feel OK that this is not churn in the wrong direction.
