/**
 * The Comm object in this module implements communication with the server. We
 * communicate via request-response calls, and also receive async messages from
 * the server.
 *
 * In this implementation, a single WebSocket is used for both purposes.
 *
 * Calls to the server:
 *    Call a method of the Comm object. The return value is a promise which will
 *    be fulfilled with the data object of the response, or rejected with
 *    an error object.
 *
 * Async messages from the server:
 *    Listen to Comm for events documented below.
 *
 *
 * Implementation
 * --------------
 * Messages are serialized as follows. Note that this is a matter between the client's and the
 * server's communication libraries, and code outside of them should not rely on these details.
 *   Requests: {
 *      reqId: Number,
 *      method: String,
 *      args: Array
 *   }
 *   Responses: {
 *      reqId: Number,          // distinguishes responses from async messages
 *      error: String           // if the request failed
 *      data: Object            // if the request succeeded, may be undefined if nothing to return
 *   }
 *   Async messages from server: {
 *      type: String,     // 'docListAction' or 'docUserAction' or 'clientConnect'
 *      docFD: Number,    // For 'docUserAction', the file descriptor of the open document.
 *      data: Object      // The message data.
 *      // other keys may exist depending on message type.
 *   }
