Command result notices

This introduces a new notice-like event with more structure so that clients
can know if an event is sucessfully written to the database. Clients
can't really do much with the current NOTICE messages, but with these
structured result messages, it can know if an event was sucessfully
saved.

Whenever there is an error and we have an id available (event id, sub
id, etc) we return these structured OK events instead.

Example:

When saving the following event:
    ["EVENT",{"id": "event_id" }]

The server will now return events in the following format:
    ["OK", event_id, "true|false", message]

For example, on a successful save:
    ["OK", "event_id", "true"]

If we already have the event:
    ["OK", "event_id", "true", "duplicate"]

If the event is rejected:
    ["OK", "event_id", "false", "you are blocked"]

If a subscription fails:
    ["OK", "sub_id", "false", "Too many subscriptions"]

NIP coming soon!
