[bitbake-devel][RFC v2 01/18] asyncrpc: Abstract sockets

[Joshua Watt <jpewhacker@gmail.com>]

Rewrites the asyncrpc client and server code to make it possible to have
other transport backends that are not stream based (e.g. websockets
which are message based). The connection handling classes are now shared
between both the client and server to make it easier to implement new
transport mechanisms
