The basic.consume_ok gets returned by amqp_channel:call, but also sent 
to the consumer process. Same for basic.cancel_ok. That way a consumer 
process is told when it gets (un)subscribed by some other process. 
However, it also means that if the consumer process itself is doing the 
(un)subscribing then it gets the same info twice, via different routes.
