protobuf relies on external framing and exact buffer lengths to parse things
correctly. So let's provide that by sending a fixed-length Frame message
before every real message.

We're in a library here, so expecting the caller to handle SIGPIPE just in
case we get it is a bit demanding. Let's use send() instead so we can just
prevent that altogether.

We may get more than one message per dispatch so let's make sure we iterate
through all the available data.

Plain-text was useful for the initial implementation where the counterpart was
netcat but now that both parts are in place, protobuf is a much more
convenient system to handle a frequently-changing protocol.

The iobuf treats this as binary data but then we're using it as strings in the
message parsing code. So make sure all messages have a trailing null byte.

Aparently the compiler is not smart enough to handle the case correctly where
a cleanup variable is introduced after a goto statement.

This is the minimum framework to support new clients, added devices and
pointer relative motion events. It's missing a bunch of checks and
verification, most of the server hooks aren't there yet, the only
implementation is a UNIX socket and the protocol is plain text (but at least
the last two makes it netcat-compatible).
Protocol is plain text for now and interaction is like this (S is server, C is client):
S: hello
C: connect myclientname
S: connected
C: add 2 4
S: accept 2
C: rel 2 -1 1
C: rel 2 5 4
Where the last two lines are: add device with id 2 and capability mask 0x4,
send a relative pointer motion event for device 2 with coordinates -1/1, then
5/4.
The implementation relies heavily on some abstraction and macros galore, see
the various util-* files. These are largely copied from libinput, with a few
parts removed and a few other parts added.
