Although allowing to pass a parser function directly to the parser
input is convenient during prototyping where the parser can be defined
and used inline, at some point, parsers may become stable and reusable
in multiple places. In these cases, it makes sense to register them with
an entry point and pass that instead.
The parser input of the ShellJob now also accepts EntryPointData
nodes, in addition to PickledData nodes. The serializer will
automatically try to detect whether the passed value is a callable or a
string representing a complete entry point.
