Provide Pyro5 compatibility to the remote door utility

The main adaptation that was needed comes down to dropping the
previous expose-free approach and dynamically exposing each
relevant function and class in addition to the previous autoproxy
steps.

To allow for modules and classes that the shared remote object has
not explicitly imported or are not detectable as needing exposing,
the previous whitelist argument has been extended to allow exposing
predefined classes and serializing predefined exceptions that could
be used and raised during remote use.
