instructions
KernelActor means the kernel to start or daemon the whole program.
it is only one process,you will have to use multiprocess if you want to utilize multi cores.
Actor is the basic class for worker actor and the kernel.
for worker actor ,you only need to inherit this class and define your funcion that needed.

tips
actors are defined in class. you can create lots of actors in one actor.
but do not Circular create actors.
such as you have a A_actor and B_actor,A_actor creates lots of B_actor, and B_actor creates lots of A_actor.
you can define lots of B_actor from A_actor with different names. and these actors can do lots of work based on different msg types
why this lib
this lib intends to Decoupling the work flow using actor-like system,which utilize the asyncio to make work efficiently.
we dont define the msg format just for you have the freedom to adjust to your program. it is you to guarantee your msg format's complete.
the commong workflow is single-forward, just as follows:
say you have A-actor,B-actor,C-actor:
A-actor work done then transfer msg to B-actor then to C-actor. no backwards.
