add main_dispatcher, a message passing mechanism for sending messages to
the main thread. The main thread is the thread that implements
SpiceCoreInterface, which is assumed to be a single thread.
Similar to the async operation of red_worker, a socket pair is created
and used to pass messages. The messages are a fixed size to ease
parsing. A single message is defined to pass a channel_event.

This patch is 0.8 branch only, for the master branch there should be a
better approach to share code with red_dispatcher and ready the way for
later adding more threads.
