Instead of using a socket (and having to open a fake connection between EL and CL), this pr switches to
status-im/nim-json-rpc#254 for internal communication.
Eventually, one could make this more efficient by skipping the JSON step, but like this, we at least no longer have to open an Engine API port which makes this setup more secure and easy to deploy (fewer open ports).
There's also fewer potential errors to contend with and payloads don't have to travel across the OS buffers and instead stay internal to the process.
