netipmid: make Handler asynchronous

The dbus call to the main ipmid queue was up to this point synchronous,
which means it blocks all other networking and execution until the main
queue returns (which may be on the order of seconds for some commands).
This is an unacceptable delay, especially when this queue is responsible
for timely updates of SOL traffic.

This turns the call into an asynchronous one by leveraging shared
pointers and an optional action on destruction. So as long as a
reference to the Handler object exists, it will live on, waiting to send
its response. Once the async dbus call has returned and set the reply in
the Handler, it will drop the reference to the shared pointer and the
destructor will send out the response over the channel.

Tested-by: Run multiple sessions at the same time while monitoring dbus
           traffic. See that the requests and responses may be
           interleaved instead of serial.
