bitbake: bitbake: xmlrpc remote server

Added code in XMLRPC server that creates a stub local server
for a client-only connection and is able to connect to
a remote server, and receive events from the remote server.

Added the option to start a client with a remote server in
bitbake.

Original code by Bogdan Marinescu <bogdan.a.marinescu@intel.com>
