Draft: auto-generate some extension marshal code

Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult requested to merge metux/xserver:wip/marshal into master

We've got lots of manually written marshal code (mostly dispatch demux, swapping, etc), which can be generated automatically.

Here's an WIP attempt to reduce this by a little piece of python and yaml.

The idea is simple:

  • write the request and response payload layouts into simple yaml (per ext)
  • generate header code for it which works as drop-in replacement for current manually written code
