commandserver: add experimental option to use separate message channel

This is loosely based on the idea of the TortoiseHg's pipeui extension,
which attaches ui.label to message text so the command-server client can
capture prompt text, for example.

I was thinking that this functionality could be generalized to templating,
but changed mind as doing template stuff would be unnecessarily complex.
It's merely a status message, a simple serialization option should suffice.

Since this slightly changes the command-server protocol, it's gated by a
config knob. If the config is enabled, and if it's supported by the server,
"message-encoding: <name>" is advertised so the client can stop parsing
'o'/'e' channel data and read encoded messages from the 'm' channel. As we
might add new message encodings in future releases, client can specify a list
of encoding names in preferred order.

This patch includes 'cbor' encoding as example. Perhaps, 'json' should be
supported as well.
