Change how replies are emitted

All events that are emitted inside a handler function are seen
as replies to the event that called the handler.
The FromPayloadBytes and ToPayloadBytes traits have been renamed
to FromPayload and IntoPayload. The IntoPayload trait passes the
context in its arguments to allow serializable structures to be
serialized by the default serializer.

-### Receiving answers to emitted events
+### Receiving replies to emitted events
 
 When emitting an event to a peer, the emitter can wait for an answer to that event.
 This is achieved by emitting events as a response to a specific event id.
 When an event with a reference event id (ref_id) is received, first the registry is
 searched for handlers waiting for a response (by trying to receive from a channel).
 If a handler can be found, the event is passed to the handler waiting for the response.
-Otherwise, the event will be processed as a regular event.
+Otherwise, the event will be processed as a regular event.
+Events passed from an event handler are always passed as replies to the event that
