dict: support better on-wire transfer

This patch brings data type awareness to dictionary,
and also makes sure valid data is properly sent to the
other side of the wire using XDR.

Next step is to allow people to add more data types
(for example, Bool, UUID, iatt etc), and then make
it part of every fop signature in wire.

Fixes #203
