Implement msim_pack(), msim_sendh(), msim_send(). msim_pack() converts a hash table to a protocol message string. msim_sendh() sends a protocol message using msim_send_raw, after converting the hash table to a string using msim_pack(). msim_send() accepts variable arguments and converts them to a hash table, then sends using msim_sendh(). These are part of the TODO item "Generic protocol message sending function, that handles packing of messages", but functions haven't been updated to use msim_send() instead of msim_send_raw() yet.
