Use versioning (SemVer) for RPC protocol #840

Please add (and support during edits) version number to RPC wiki page

GitHub keeps edit history, and version number will allow to align third-party software with protocol updates.

Or could we switch to Protocol Buffers to both RPC and nano network packets? It is low overhead, quick parsing/serializing and extensible backward and forward when updating protocol, adding new fields, etc.

@baryluk there's an IPC patch (https://github.com/nanocurrency/raiblocks/pull/1434) that allows for protobuf/gRPC implementations (see the PR for links)

Moving this off of v18 but keeping it open for input into future REST API work.
