MLDEV/MLSLV protocol

The MLDEV protocol is a binary file transfer protocol used between ITS
systems for the transfer of files.  It depends heavily upon the ITS job
device feature and the ITS system calls and error codes.  For a more
detailed description of the ITS system calls, read the ITS UUO and
symbolic system call manuals.

The name MLDEV is historical, dating back to the days when this protocol
was used mostly to reference ML's file system from AI (and vice versa).
The MLDEV server is called MLSLV, for "ML slave".

ICP is to socket 305 if doing mostly input, 307 if mostly output.
