The new function DumpPatterns() can be used to limit (drastically) the size of
the data returned by PID1. Hence the optimization of serializing data into a
file descriptor should be less relevant than having the possibility to limit
the data when communicating with the service manager remotely.
NB: when passing patterns, the dump command omits the version of the manager as
well as the features and the timestamps.
