Standard methods return only one value, after operation is completed,
but events-related methods may return multiple values during the method
execution time. Provide a callback for such cases.
Also, according to specification, avoid sending both event and non-event
values.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
Allow method handler to decide if operation could be cancelled. If yes,
when connection to the qubesd is terminated (and
protocol.connection_lost get called) the operation is cancelled using
standard asyncio method - in which case asyncio.CancelledError is thrown
inside method handler. This needs to be explicitly enabled, because
cancellable methods are much harder to write, to maintain consistent
system state.
Caveat: protocol.connection_lost is called only when trying to send some
data to it (and it's already terminated). Which makes this whole
mechanism useful only for events. Otherwise, when sending some data (and
possibly detecting that connection is broken), the operation is already
completed.

This socket (and commands) are not exposed to untrusted input, so no
need to extensive sanitization. Also, there is no need to provide a
stable API here, as those methods are used internally only.
