This patch introduces clients to the telemetry API.
When a client makes a connection through the initial telemetry
socket, they can send a message through the socket to be
parsed. Register messages are expected through this socket, to
enable clients to register and have a client socket setup for
future communications.
A TAILQ is used to store all clients information. Using this, the
client sockets are polled for messages, which will later be parsed
and dealt with accordingly.
Functionality that make use of the client sockets were introduced
in this patch also, such as writing to client sockets, and sending
error responses.

Rather than using the rather heavyweight jansson library and creating
an additional dependency on an external library; may I recommend reusing
the json_writer library (I wrote) that is part of iproute2 and much
simpler.

Hi Stephen, Ciara,
I'm about to push another patchset to the mailing list in the next few
days which
also makes use of Jansson. I'm parsing an incoming JSON string
containing power
management info. The Jansson package comes pre-installed in many
operating systems,
although you do indeed need to install libjansson-dev to build against it.
I would certainly like to see the community accept its use.
Regards,
Dave.
