Nakamoto[Block Validation]: Comms channels for RPC handler and block template/validation

[kantai]

RPC methods for assembling a block template and validating a block must
be asynchronous: block assembly and validation are slow operations, and
the network stack should not stall while processing them. In order to
facilitate this, the RPC handler will send a request for template
generation or block validation over a comms channel. A different
thread will handle the work and then pass the result via the event
interface.
