  1. Event: support Echo 

    Historically, Fvwm's "Echo" command has sent its output to stderr, and
then more recently to a dedicated log file.

However, modules have no way of therefore seeing the output from an echo
command, especially if it's used to gain information about the state of
fvwm for use in a shell script.

Therefore, add a new event, echo, which will broadcast to interested
modules, the message that was sent from the Echo command.

Currently supported by FvwmMFL and FvwmEvent.

  2. ModuleMFL: support multiple statements 

    In order to support external scripts, allow for messages to be sent in
bulk, as in:

   echo "set echo\nEcho hello" | nc -U $FVWMMFL_SOCKET

which would send both "set echo", and "Echo hello" to FvwmMFL (and hence
Fvwm).
