`Manager.RegisterXHandler(handlerID, handler, subroutes...)`.

A `Handler()` function provides an HTTP handler, which should be hooked up to the appropriate route on the server.

On startup, the manager will start connecting to remotes and also starts listening for incoming connections.
Until a connection is established, all outgoing requests will return `ErrDisconnected`.
