extract some of the consensus types into ./types

so they can be used in rpc/core/types/responses.go.

```
So, it seems like we could use the actual structs here, but we don't want to have to import consensus to get them, as then clients are importing too much crap. So probably we should move some types from consensus into consensus/types so we can import.

Will these raw messages be identical to:

type ResultDumpConsensusState struct {
  RoundState cstypes.RoundState
  PeerRoundStates map[string]cstypes.PeerRoundState
}
```
