cmdserver: document message-encodings and channel output options

While writing the previous patch, I noticed these options are undocumented.
In my testing, a separate status/error message channel works well in GUI
frontend as we no longer have to sort out data and message from mixed outputs.
So let's mark it as not experimental.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
