Subject: Restructures birdc and birdcl to merge duplicated code.

The BIRD client code is restructured that most of the code (including
main function) is shared in client.c, while birdc.c and birdcl.c contain
just I/O-specific callbacks. This removes all duplicated code from
variant-specific files.
