The spec introduces several new error codes.  If we add
GRPC_INVALID_TYPE and GRPC_INVALID_MODE to the spec, both could be
returned in grpc_call() and grpc_call_async(), too, when the
argument data does not match to what the server program expects.

I feel because data transfer becomes more complicated, a function
to verify data types and etc. between senders and receivers would
be helpful for users.

Regards,
