I assume the REQ/REP use case is more common than XREQ/XREP, right?

So if we're looking at new socket type names, we could use:

* ZMQ_RR_CLIENT, ZMQ_RR_SERVER
* ZMQ_RR_CLIENT_ASYNC, ZMQ_RR_SERVER_ASYNC

Which explicitly says what the peers do, and hints that the two pairs
of socket types work together...
