Add event system based on a public dispatch method in Client. The new event system bases itself on two types of events, internal event handlers and user defined event handlers. Internal event handlers begin with 'handle_', and user defined events begin with 'on_'. Events are dispatched with dispatch(event_name, *args). The Client class should be subclassed and the on_<event> handlers defined in it for responding to events. The handle_<event> handlers can the overridden to override the behaviour of the Client class, though this is not recommended. The subclassing method allows separation of the instance of the client and the code that handles it. (i.e. you don't need the instance of the client object to define event handlers for it). Though, the old method of using the event decorator from the instance will still be supported.
