Networking API

[xiaoxiao921]

The original implementation was made by Rein, I just made the integration into R2API.
This API aim to fix multiples problems :

• One less dependency for mod makers to add for their mods when they need networking (they usually relied on minirpclib, which, even if it was working great, made installation of mods a bit harder)
• Add some builts in networked messages that can be expanded later on, the goal is to provide ready to use networking messages that facilitate the making of a mod, exemple : BuffMessage or DamageMessage, it becomes just a matter of

var buffMessage = new BuffMessage(body, buff, stacks, duration);
buffMessage.Send(NetworkDestination.Server);

to properly network and synchronize buffs across a multiplayer game
There is another kind of network message that can be used in this API : Request
It's basically a message that is associated with an answer to it.
The target will reply back to the caller as soon as it receive the message.
It's made using generics so it provides type safety while writing the code.

var sendRequest = new ExamplePing { Integer = 69 };
sendRequest.Send<ExamplePing, ExamplePingReply>(NetworkDestination.Server);

This API requires the UnityEngine.UNETModule.dll for it to work, should I give you a stubbed dll for it ?
