    Unit implementing two-way (request/response) IPC between 1 server and more
    clients, based on files.
    The order of message processing is not deterministic (if there are more
    pending messages, the server won't process them in the order they have
    been sent to the server.
    SendRequest and PostRequest+PeekResponse sequences from 1 client are
    blocking and processed in correct order.
