 * A base class for all RPC commands to VPP.
 *  RPC commands are one of the sub-set of command types to VPP
 * that modify/create state in VPP and thus return an error code.
 * Commands are issued in one thread context, but read in another. The
 * command has an associated std::promise that is met by the RX thread.
 * this allows the sender, which waits on the promise's future, to
 * experience a synchronous command.
 *
 * The command is templatised on the type of the HW::item to be set by
 * the command, and the data returned in the promise,
