This comes in the sequence of [1]. And it proposes a new garbage collection
command to improve the efficiency of marking several hash equivalence database
entries.

A new poky/script using this command will also be added, so that
developers can use it and to server as a reference on how this new

developers can use it and to serve as a reference on how this new

command is meant to be used.

Since the hash equivalence server API is also changed, and as of now there
isn't a convenient way to check the API version or which commands are
available.

The new client command assumes a connection error to the server means
the server does not support "bulk" marking in stream mode, and falls back
to sequentially marking each input its given.
