This change moves the KMIPProtocol class from the server module to the services module. Because the client uses KMIPProtocol, and KMIPProtocol lived in the server module, the client would end up importing server libraries whenever it was used. If there are any issues with server dependencies, this would cause the client to fail for no good reason. This change now insulates the client from the server code base and prevents this case from happening. See #509

PyKMIP is a Python implementation of the Key Management Interoperability
Protocol (KMIP), an `OASIS`_ communication standard for the management of
objects stored and maintained by key management systems. KMIP defines how key
management operations and operation data should be encoded and communicated
between client and server applications. Supported operations include the full
`CRUD`_ key management lifecycle, including operations for managing object
metadata and for conducting cryptographic operations. Supported object types
include:
* symmetric/asymmetric encryption keys
* passwords/passphrases
* certificates
* opaque data blobs, and more
For more information on KMIP, check out the `OASIS KMIP Technical Committee`_
and the `OASIS KMIP Documentation`_.
