Goal: A way to use Canary scripts like Unix processes with Magpie.

Application: Desktop Canary panel windows can be used as frontends to shell scripts or parent processes capturing stdio.

Details: Provide an option to run the Magpie binary as a client to an already-running Magpie server that creates a single panel with a single script. Provide an option to send and receive messages to and from that script using line-separated stdio.

Steps:

add the clap crate as a service dependency on the Magpie crate
parse command-line options for the Magpie binary (should still default to running as a daemon)
draw the rest of the fucking owl
