Implement ipm using marshal system in v10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Need to redesign and re-implement ipm anew using the recently added marshal 
system.

- Added ipm argument to SConstruct which prints instructions to run ipm.
- Wrote new _read_and_load() func in src/lib/ipm.py which receives bytes and 
runs them through the marshal load() function.  This obviates importing 
pmMarshal, saves 1 function call in the ipm loop and allows immediate release 
of the ipm payload string.
- src/lib/ipm.py added to the default build for posix.
- src/platform/posix/main.py changed to run ipm strictly.
- src/tools/ipm.py changed to use pmMarshal to generate serialized payload; 
removed the required argument path/to/pmfeatures.py; prefix the ipm transaction 
with a 16-bit size-of-payload.
