Allow any C++ object that has Serialize and Unserialize methods and can be
serialized to a bitcoin CDataStream to be converted to a capnproto Data field
and passed as arguments or return values to capnproto methods using the Data
type.
Extend IPC unit test to cover this and verify the serialization happens
correctly.
Since the kernel library no longer depends on the system file, move it
to the common library instead in accordance to the diagram in
doc/design/libraries.md.
The fs.* files are already part of the libbitcoin_util library. With the
introduction of the fs_helpers.* it makes sense to move fs.* into the
util/ directory as well.
There is no change in behavior. This just helps prepare for the
transition from boost::filesystem to std::filesystem by avoiding calls
to methods which will be unsafe after the transaction to std::filesystem
to due lack of a boost::filesystem::path::imbue equivalent and inability
to set a predictable locale.

These are currently empty structs but they will be used to pass some
function and object pointers from bitcoin application code to IPC hooks
that run, for example, when a remote object is created or destroyed, or
a new process is created.
Add simple interfaces::Echo IPC interface with one method that just takes and
returns a string, to test multiprocess framework and provide an example of how
it can be used to spawn and call between processes.
