Module router

Routers allow converting IPC channels to crossbeam channels. The RouterProxy provides various methods to register IpcReceiver<T>s. The router will then either call the appropriate callback or route the message to a crossbeam Sender<T> or Receiver<T>. You should use the global ROUTER to access the RouterProxy methods (via ROUTER’s Deref for RouterProxy.
