Why is the protocol being removed? We need to support named pipes per #285 and this change here will have to be undone.

I'm uneasy about half-supported features. Assuming that #285 is O(months) out before we break ground, i find the added clarity of support and simplicity welcome in the meantime.

That said, i don't feel strongly. So if you feel strongly about keeping the protocol plumbing on this end, i can revert.

Let's just get this in. Some of this may have to be reworked for Windows support but for now it's fine.

How is this going to work for #285? Now that we are moving this code around, we should make accommodations for the protocol string.

I'm of the opinion that #285 will require a concerted effort that would not be mitigated by accepting a protocol string piecemeal. I don't see much benefit to involving support for alternate protocols in this patch.
edit: to rephrase, this patch doesn't really set us back from support for alternate protocols, and i don't think we should block this patch for also not moving us forward on support for alternate protocols.

It won't take O(months). I'm planning on using https://github.com/natefinch/npipe and it has the same convention as net.Listen(). However, I will need the protocol to be passed in so that we can implement a switch.

While looking into adding request/response logging in #269, i realized that plugin communications were using raw socket I/O rather than HTTP. This patch uses JSON-RPC over HTTP, which i suspect will be easier for others to implement and test with conventional tools. Specifically, this uses
github.com/gorilla/rpc. I chose this overnet/rpcandnet/rpc/jsonrpcto favor traditional HTTP request-oriented behavior.net/rpccan operate over HTTP, but only as a starting point after which it hijacks connections and no longer uses HTTP requests (similar to websocket behavior).I've elected to use
gopkg.in/tylerb/graceful.v1for handling graceful shutdown of the HTTP server, which simplified lifecycle management.In addition, this patch adds HTTP request logging at the debug log level. I will follow up to refine the log output, as it currently does not log the request body.
The patch comes in 2 commits - one with the code changes, and one with vendor updates in the course of adding dependencies.
