remotedata: enable transporting datastore from the client to the server

For the purposes of server-side parsing and expansion allowing for
client-side use of the datastore, we need a means of sending a datastore
from the client back to the server, where the datastore probably
consists of a remote (server-side) original plus some client-side
modifications. To do this we need to take care of a couple of things:

1) xmlrpc can't handle nested dicts, so if you enable memres and simply
   try passing a serialised datastore then things break. Instead of
   serialising the entire datastore, just take the naive option of
   transferring the internal dict alone (as a list of tuples) for now.

2) Change the TinfoilDataStoreConnector object into simply the handle
   (number) when transmitting; it gets substituted with the real
   datastore when the server receives it.
