This patch adds packet tracing to the communication monitor using a
protobuf as the mechanism for creating the trace.
If no file is specified, then the tracing is disabled. If a file is
specified, then for every packet that is successfully sent, a protobuf
message is serialized to the file.
This patch adds support for outputting protobuf messages through a
ProtoOutputStream which hides the internal streams used by the
library. The stream is created based on the name of an output file and
optionally includes compression using gzip.
The output stream will start by putting a magic number in the file,
and then for every message that is serialized prepend the size such
that the stream can be written and read incrementally. At this point
this merely serves as a proof of concept.
