Pyro changes in stable branch

Pyro work has been commited to the stable branch. News:

  • you don't need to use sudo anymore with licorn commands. If you're a member of group admins, everything should be transparent for you.
  • every CLI tool and the WMI needs the daemon to work.
  • CLI tools will launch the daemon if needed and wait for it to be ready before continuing.

Functionnaly-wise, nothing should have changed (this is guaranteed by the testsuite).

Security-wise, core objects are not yet protected with locks, but this is the next work to do in turn. For everyday use, this should not hurt (i've tryed to crash it, but didn't succeed).
