ipc: some user-visible changes to prepare for making all commands async
I wanted to put all commands through mpv_command_node_async() instead of
mpv_command_node(). Using synchronous commands over a synchronous
transport doesn't make sense anyway.
This would have used the request_id field in IPC requests as reply ID
for the async commands. But the latter need to be [u]int64, while the
former can be any type. To avoid that we need an extra lookup table for
mapping reply IDs to request_id values, we now require that request_id
fields are integers.
Since this would be an incompatible change, just deprecate non-integers
for now, and plan the change for a later time.
