/**
 *      This feature makes it possible to use TCP connection to exchange
 *  messages (represented by JSON objects) with external applications.
 *  There are some peculiarities to UnrealEngine's `TCPLink`, so to simplify
 *  communication process for external applications, they are expected to
 *  connect to the server through the "Avarice" utility that can accept a stream
 *  of utf8-encoded JSON messageand feed them to our `TCPLink` (we use child
 *  class `AvariceTcpStream`) in a way it can receive them.
 *      Every message sent to us must have the following structure:
 *  { "s": "<service_name>", "t": "<command_type>", "p": <any_json_value> }
 *  where
 *      * <service_name> describes a particular source of messages
 *          (it can be a name of the database or an alias for
 *          a connected application);
 *      * <command_type> simply states the name of a command, for a database it
 *          can be "get", "set", "delete", etc..
 *      * <any_json_value> can be an arbitrary json value and can be used to
 *          pass any additional information along with the message.
 *      Acedia provides a special treatment for any messages that have their
 *  service set to "echo" - it always returns them back as-is, except for the
 *  message type that gets set to "end".
