remctl_command() and remctl_commandv() send a command to a remote remctl server.  The remctl client
       object r, created with remctl_new(), should have previously been passed to remctl_open() to open a
       connection to the server.

       remctl_command() takes the command as a NULL-terminated array of NUL-terminated strings (the same layout
       as an argv array).  This function is most convenient when passing simple text commands.

       remctl_commandv() takes the command as an array of iovec structs of length count.  This function is most
       convenient when passing arbitrary data to the command, since the iovec struct takes a pointer and a
       length for each chunk of data.  See writev(2) for the layout of the iovec struct.

       To control the network timeout for sending the command, see the remctl_set_timeout(3) function.

       After calling one of these functions, call remctl_output() to get the results of the command.

remctl_command() and remctl_commandv() return true on success and false on failure.  On failure, the
       caller should call remctl_error() to retrieve the error message.
