backend: daemon: Begin JSON-RPC implementation

Beginning the implementation of the JSON-RPC server in the privileged
daemon.  We're using *jsonrpc-core* for the JSON-RPC implementation,
which includes serialization, connection handling, and method dispatch.

The first RPC method is a simple status query, which returns the daemon
version and the number of seconds the daemon process has been running.
