sideband: Fix use after free bug.
Commit 32ffc06c (Pass command exit status via sideband to client.)
made para_server's command handler send the exit status of the command
to the client as an RC4-encrypted sideband packet.
However, the encryption key has already been freed when this packet
is sent. This may result in client errors about invalid or unexpected
sideband designators, but these errors occurred rather infrequently,
which makes this bug hard to trigger. Presumably the freed memory is
usually not being reused since the command handler is going to dye
anyway after the packet is sent.
This patch fixes the bug by deferring to free the crypto keys until
the exit code has been sent.

For regular command output the value of this parameter is SBD_OUTPUT,

Add sideband implementation.
This adds the new source files sideband.[ch] to the repository and
links the corresponding object file into para_server, para_audiod
and para_client.
The sideband API enables the command handlers of para_server to send a
multiplexed output stream. The client side (para_client or para_audiod)
demultiplex the received stream afterwards.
The design is as simple as it can be: Each data buffer is preceded
by a 5-byte header containing the length and the band designator,
a one-byte number which specifies the type of the data which follows.
The server-side and the client-side implement their own variant of the
send_sb() and recv_sb() functions for sending and receiving sideband
packets. Two implementations are necessary because the underlying
file descriptor is blocking on the server side (command handlers of
para_server) while it is non-blocking on the client side (para_client
and para_audiod).
The sideband API allows to optionally filter all data (including the
sideband header) through an arbitrary transformation. This patch adds
a suitable transformation as a new public function performs RC4 to
the crypto API.
To keep the patch within reasonable size, this commit does not contain
any users of the new sideband API yet. Subsequent commits will teach
