David Reiss 3f660a4266 erlang: Client refactor, part 1
- Client is no longer a separate process.
- Simplified constructors moved into another module.
- All functions and exceptions return the new client,
  to allow for future statefulness in the client.

NOTE: With the new library and old gen-code, attempting to call a
nonexistent function will result in an exit.

TODO: fix docs and tests (tether test is not meaningful)

Example session using thrift_client:

1> {ok, C0} = thrift_client_util:new("localhost", 9090, thriftTest_thrift, []), ok.
ok
2> {C1, R1} = thrift_client:call(C0, testVoid, []), R1.
{ok,ok}
3> {C2, R2} = thrift_client:call(C1, testVoid, [asdf]), R2.
{error,{bad_args,testVoid,[asdf]}}
4> {C3, R3} = thrift_client:call(C2, testI32, [123]), R3.
{ok,123}
5> {C4, R4} = thrift_client:call(C3, testOneway, [1]), R4.
{ok,ok}
6> {C5, R5} = thrift_client:call(C4, testXception, ["foo"]), R5.
{error,{no_function,testXception}}
7> {C6, R6} = thrift_client:call(C5, testException, ["foo"]), R6.
{ok,ok}
8> {C7, R7} = (catch thrift_client:call(C6, testException, ["Xception"])), R7.
{exception,{xception,1001,<<"Xception">>}}
