Matthias Beyer d7cfab797f Revert "Implement pipe magic in libimagrt" 
This reverts commit ce0bd9298a.

Pipe magic is removed with this patch.

We remove pipe magic because its implementation in libimagstore is too
complicated and the benefits are too small.
Having this functionality would be really nice, but the cost-benefit
ratio would still be too high.
The implementation in the store would require a rewrite of the internal
caching functionality in the store, plus some functionality to serialize
and deserialize the cache. This is theoretically possible, but as the
store only knows about "StoreEntry" objects, and only the backend knows
of "Entry" (which would be simply de/serializeable), the complexity
increases a _lot_.

Hence, we drop this feature-idea here.

Maybe, at some later point, this functionality will be in imag. The
history of development of this feature is in the history, we just don't
have it merged.

libimagrt

This library provides utility functionality for the modules and the binary frontends, such as reading and parsing the configuration file, a builder helper for the commandline interface and such.

It also contains the store object and creates it from configuration.

the libimagrt::runtime::Runtime object is the first complex object that comes to live in a imag binary.

Long-term TODO

  • Merge with libimagstore
