python/aqmp: add generic async message-based protocol support

This is the bare minimum that you need to establish a full-duplex async
message-based protocol with Python's asyncio.

The features to be added in forthcoming commits are:

- Runstate tracking
- Logging
- Support for incoming connections via accept()
- _cb_outbound, _cb_inbound message hooks
- _readline() method

Generic Asynchronous Message-based Protocol Support
This module provides a generic framework for sending and receiving
messages over an asyncio stream. `AsyncProtocol` is an abstract class
that implements the core mechanisms of a simple send/receive protocol,
and is designed to be extended.
In this package, it is used as the implementation for the `QMPClient`
class.

AsyncProtocol implements a generic async message-based protocol.
This protocol assumes the basic unit of information transfer between
client and server is a "message", the details of which are left up
to the implementation. It assumes the sending and receiving of these
messages is full-duplex and not necessarily correlated; i.e. it
supports asynchronous inbound messages.
It is designed to be extended by a specific protocol which provides
the implementations for how to read and send messages. These must be
defined in `_do_recv()` and `_do_send()`, respectively.
Other callbacks have a default implementation, but are intended to be
either extended or overridden:
- `_establish_session`:
The base implementation starts the reader/writer tasks.
A protocol implementation can override this call, inserting
actions to be taken prior to starting the reader/writer tasks
before the super() call; actions needing to occur afterwards
can be written after the super() call.
- `_on_message`:
Actions to be performed when a message is received.
