feature_request: return wrapped cached object on which methods of cached object can be directly called, and executed in server

[tkmmark]

Create a easy-to-work with wrapped cached object on which methods of the cached object (which may call all the nice scientific libraries we cannot use in IronPython) can be directly called--triggering their execution in the server.

An example of how it would be used from the point of the Proxy-using developer:

This involves creating a wrapped cached object that gets returned when Proxy.cache(object) is used:

This class, as can be seen, gathers and wrap all the methods that are in the cached object's class, so that they may directly be called from the Client side...

Where proxy.run_method_of_cached was discussed in an earlier Issue...

Finally, the wrapped object also provides a handy restore function that allows the cached object to be recreated in the client side.

Hey @tkmmark , sorry for the late response, finally have some time to look at this properly. This looks pretty good to me! Actually would you mind to submit this part of code as a PR to compas_cloud ? I'm sure this will be a very useful feature

[tkmmark]

Yes, and thanks for asking earlier on slack as well.
Will submit a PR for sure.
Made some big changes, so I just need to make sure that the other examples still work, do some clean up, and see if there is a more pythonic (and proper) way to set this up using metaclasses or/and class decorators.

don't use ABC's on the client side because they create memory leaks in ironpython...

[tkmmark]

Had to make sure it works for properties as well, and other non-COMPAS structures...
Will wrap it up very soon and send a pull request.

@tkmmark Please follow up with the pull request, if still relevant.

I will follow up with Li Chen,
I gave him access to my fork for inspection a while ago because there were a number of changes.
