 * @section DESCRIPTION
 * 
 * A simple a IPC interface for NCD to talk to other processes over a Unix socket.
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.request_server(listen_address, string request_handler_template, list args)
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Initializes a request server on the given socket path. Requests are served by
 *   starting a template process for every request. Multiple such processes may
 *   exist simultaneously. Termination of these processess may be initiated at
 *   any time if the request server no longer needs the request in question served.
 *   The payload of a request is a value, and can be accessed as _request.data
 *   from within the handler process. Replies to the request can be sent using
 *   _request->reply(data); replies are values too. Finally, _request->finish()
 *   should be called to indicate that no further replies will be sent. Calling
 *   finish() will immediately initiate termination of the handler process.
 *   Requests can be sent to NCD using the badvpn-ncd-request program.
 * 
 *   The listen_address argument must be one of:
 *   - {"unix", socket_path}
 *     Listens on a Unix socket.
 *   - {"tcp", ip_address, port_number}
 *     Listens on a TCP socket. The address must be numeric and not a name.
 *     For IPv6, the address must be enclosed in [].
 * 
 * Predefined variables in request_handler_template:
 *   _request.data - the request payload as sent by the client
 *   _request.client_addr_type - type of client address; "none", "ipv4" or "ipv6"
 *   _request.client_addr - client IP address. IPv4 addresses are standard dotted-decimal
 *     without leading zeros, e.g. "14.6.0.251". IPv6 addresses are full 8
 *     lower-case-hexadecimal numbers separated by 7 colons, without leading zeros,
 *     e.g. "61:71a4:81f:98aa:57:0:5efa:17". If client_addr_type=="none", this too
 *     is "none".
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.request_server.request::reply(reply_data)
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.request_server.request::finish()
