Updated with message API. I'm assuming that the client will always
send a single message containing all the command, in order to avoid
more complications.

I also added a zmqsend.c tool, which can be used in scripts, and in
general seems more useful than zmqshell.c, especially considering that
zmqshell is already implemented in a Python script. Thus I think I'll
just drop zmqshell.c in favor of zmqsend.c, and let Clement improve
his zmqshell script.
