RetroShare/retroshare-nogui
drbob bb10b6b400 Added first version of RPC system for external control of retroshare-nogui.
The protocol message format is as follows: 
	[HEADER: 16 bytes: 4 x Network Order uint32_t][ VARIABLE LENGTH BODY ] 

	[ MAGIC_CODE ] [ MSG_ID ] [ REQ_ID ] [ BODY_SIZE ] [ ........ BODY ......... ]
	MagicCode = 0x137f0001 ... this will be incremented for new versions of the protocol.
 	MsgID = Corresponds to the format of the Body.
	ReqID = Generated by Requester, Returned in Response, make sure its unique. (undefined behaviour for duplicates)
        BodySize = Byte Length of Body.

	The Body will consist of a protobuf encoded message.

For the moment, the RPC server just ECHOs the request back to the sender - for testing purposes.

Usage:
 * Create SSH connection to retroshare-nogui.
 * Create Request Message(s), and send over SSH channel - You can send as meny requests as you want. 
 * They will processed, and responses sent back (potentially in an arbitary order).

Specific Changes here:
 * Modified rssshd to support arbitary recv/send applications. (interface is RpcComms).
 * Added rpc directory, with server, setup and echo service.
 * Modified Menu System to use the new interface to rssshd 
 * Wrote new matching interface for Terminal Usage.
	- NOTE: Strange BUG in Terminal version.... causes stderr to disappear. TODO.
 * Added -C commandline option to switch on RPC system.

This is the first version - so I expect there will be bugs. Please report for a prompt fix!
