Description

The management protocol is hand-crafted for each message type. That's a lot of code and it makes it unnecessarily complicated to add new message types. Let's introduce a simple, generic marshaling format and use that everywhere. The format I have implemented can be used for signaling traffic_server as well, but for now this is just changing API messages to traffic_manager.
