/**
 * A service request callback function.
 *
 * These callbacks, registered by the embedder, are called when the VM receives
 * a service request it can't handle and the service request command name
 * matches one of the embedder registered handlers.
 *
 * The return value of the callback indicates whether the response
 * should be used as a regular result or an error result.
 * Specifically, if the callback returns true, a regular JSON-RPC
 * response is built in the following way:
 *
 * {
 *   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
 *   "result": <json_object>,
 *   "id": <some sequence id>,
 * }
 *
 * If the callback returns false, a JSON-RPC error is built like this:
 *
 * {
 *   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
 *   "error": <json_object>,
 *   "id": <some sequence id>,
 * }
 *
 * \param method The rpc method name.
 * \param param_keys Service requests can have key-value pair parameters. The
 *   keys and values are flattened and stored in arrays.
 * \param param_values The values associated with the keys.
 * \param num_params The length of the param_keys and param_values arrays.
 * \param user_data The user_data pointer registered with this handler.
 * \param result A C string containing a valid JSON object. The returned
 *   pointer will be freed by the VM by calling free.
 *
 * \return True if the result is a regular JSON-RPC response, false if the
 *   result is a JSON-RPC error.
