api/msgpack-rpc: Parse type information from api/private/defs.h

Enhance msgpack-gen.lua to extract custom api type codes from the ObjectType
enum in api/private/defs.h. The type information is made available from the api
metadata and clients can use to correctly serialize/deserialize these types
using msgpack EXT type.
