wireproto: syntax for encoding CBOR into frames
We just vendored a library for encoding and decoding the CBOR
data format. While the intent of that vendor was to support state
files, CBOR is really a nice data format. It is extensible and
compact.
I've been feeling dirty inventing my own data formats for
frame payloads. While custom formats can always beat out a generic
format, there is a cost to be paid in terms of implementation,
comprehension, etc. CBOR is compact enough that I'm not too
worried about efficiency loss. I think the benefits of using
a standardized format outweigh rolling our own formats. So
I plan to make heavy use of CBOR in the wire protocol going
forward.
This commit introduces support for encoding CBOR data in frame
payloads to our function to make a frame from a human string.
We do need to employ some low-level Python code in order to
evaluate a string as a Python expression. But other than that,
this should hopefully be pretty straightforward.
Unit tests for this function have been added.
