eCryptfs: integrate eCryptfs device handle into the module.

Update the versioning information.  Make the message types generic.  Add an
outgoing message queue to the daemon struct.  Make the functions to parse
and write the packet lengths available to the rest of the module.  Add
functions to create and destroy the daemon structs.  Clean up some of the
comments and make the code a little more consistent with itself.
