 There is the need to have 'internal' commands; i.e. commands that modules
 accept, but only from other modules, and not from an administrator. For
 instance, Xfrin currently has a 'notify' command, that is sent from
 zonemgr. This command is only used on incoming notifies, and for that
 reason is not in the specfile. However, this means that we have no way to
 automatically validate the arguments.

 The proposal is to extend the specification format with a 'internal' value
 for commands, and if this is true, it will not be exported to bindctl etc,
 but we can add argument validation to moduleccsession.
