John Ericson be81764320 Factor out bits of the worker protocol to use elsewhere
This introduces some shared infrastructure for our notion of protocols.
We can then define multiple protocols in terms of that notion.
We an also express how particular protocols depend on each other.

For example, we can define a common protocol and a worker protocol,
where the second depends on the first in terms of the data types it can
read and write.

The "serve" protocol can just use the common one for now, but will
eventually need its own machinary just like the worker protocol for
version-aware serialisers
