This patch supplies a new framework API; mbox_request_channel_byname().

It works by supplying the usual client pointer as the first argument and
a string as the second.  The API will search the client's node for a
'mbox-names' property then request a channel in the normal way using the
requested string's index as the expected second 'index' argument.
