[Social-p2p] Moving "mount" out of the core

[Miron Cuperman]

Here are my design notes for the change we decided on:

Moving mount from core to UI
============================

* "mount" and "unmount" are no longer in the core API

* mount and unmount are utility functions in the UI library

* ui2core API change:

  request(max, path, order [, seek_path])
becomes
  request(route, meta_data, max, order [, seek_path])

meta_data would currently contain the remote_path.

Once we have crypto, meta_data would be encrypted to the target UI.

* ui2core new API:

  send(route, path)

* incoming core2core "send" causes the core to store the data in
/inbox/<seq> and triggers a ui2core event

* UI library examines each incoming event and performs a put, then a
delete on /inbox/<seq>

* ui2core "put" no longer has the "push" option
