Add ability to build golang remote client

Add the ability to build a remote client in golang that uses all
the same front-end cli code and output code. The initial limitations
here are that it can only be a local client while the bridge and
resolver code is being written for the golang varlink client.

Tests and docs will be added in subsequent PRs.
