Added support for distributed sets: unordered collections of elements

where the elements are user defined objects that know how to read and
write themselves on a stream. Sets are required to contain elements all of
the same type to make network traffic more efficient (avoid sending the
classname every time an element is added or removed).

/**
* The distributed set class provides a means by which an unordered set of
* objects can be maintained as a distributed object field. Elements can
* be added to and removed from the set, requests for which will generate
* events much like other distributed object fields.
*
* <p> The sets must contain a homogenous set of objects (all of exactly
* the same type) and the master copy of the set (the one in the master
* copy of the distributed object, ie. the server copy), must be
* configured with the class object of the type of object that this set
* will contain. This allows the set to distributed updates without
* communicating the class of the object contained therein. That need only
* be communicated once when the entire containing distributed object is
* sent over the wire.
*
* <p> Classes that wish to act as set elements must implement the {@link
* com.threerings.cocktail.cher.dobj.DSet.Element} interface which extends
* {@link com.threerings.cocktail.cher.io.Streamable} and adds the
* requirement that the object provide a key which will be used to
* identify element equality. Thus an element is declared to be in a set
* of the object returned by that element's <code>geyKey()</code> method
* is equal (using <code>equal()</code>) to the element returned by the
* <code>getKey()</code> method of some other element in the set.
* Additionally, in the case of element removal, only the key for the
* element to be removed will be transmitted with the removal event to
* save network bandwidth. Lastly, the object returned by
* <code>getKey()</code> must be a valid distributed object type.
