Implementing router-dealer pattern with custom acknowledgments with zmq

 - dealers always wait for acknowledgment from the evaluator
 - removing websockets, no more wait_for_evaluator
 - Settup encryption with curve
 - each dealer (client, dispatcher) will get a unique name
 - Make sure to check cancellation error when sending event from client
 - Monitor is an advanced version Client
 - Add brew install zeromq on macos runner
 - Make sure to wait to ensemble start before initiating monitor
 - Use TCP protocol only when using LSF, SLURM or TORQUE queues
 - Remove certificate
 - Use ipc_protocol when using LOCAL driver
