Thus far, the python test code has only ever sent messages of type commands to the server and processed the corresponding replies. For the twin-socket feature, the tests will exercise flows where DMA access commands must be received, processed, and replied to by the client.
This change refactors the message handling python test code to provide functions to handle server-to-client commands, reusing existing code as appropriate.
