Convenience interfaces added for remote calls to Cylc servers which use the localhost platform configuration. These are now used for:
* `cylc play` command re-invocation on a Cylc server.
* Evaluation of host selection rankings (via `cylc psutil`).
* The detect old contact file check, which tests whether a workflow is still running on the server recored in the contact file.

* host select: allow unary operators in ranking expressions (cylc#5151)

* host select: allow unary operators in ranking expressions

* Whitelist unary operators (required for expressions like `-1 * x`)
  in `[scheduler][run hosts]ranking` expressions.
* Improve error formatting.

* Update tests/unit/test_exceptions.py
