The shared memory region can be safely removed by the sender once it's mapped in the receiver. The OS will just delete the file handle associated with the shared memory region, but keep the data alive until it has been unmapped from all address spaces. By notifying the sender that a message has been mapped to the address space we enable faster cleanup on exit. The sender can safely close all of its shared memory regions once all of its sent messages are at least mapped. So it does not need to wait until all messages have been _dropped_ anymore, which can take considerably longer, especially if the Python GC is involved. This commit modifies the message format, so we need to bump the version of the `dora-message` crate to `0.5.0`.
