We kinda have 2 different schemas currently being used, this needs an overhaul.

Figure out how the whole protocol should look in flatbuffer
Use only unix sockets in all OS for the driver IPC (supported since Insider Build 17063 on Windows 10)
Work out if any extra is needed for Monado to have an easy time using this

Stuff that needs to be thought of:

Because we are gonna still use sockets/pipes, we should use TCP directly, it will make everything easier by making sure messages are in order (which should still happen in UDP tbh) and take care of the concept of a "connection" which UDP doesn't have. The current implementation in Linux is TCP, so it won't require much change.
