comes at the cost of O(n) Blocks() method.

so there's one less name to think about

A nice invariant for bitswap sessions:

        Senders and receivers can trust that messages do not contain
        duplicate blocks or duplicate keys. Backing the message with a
        map enforces this invariant.

        This comes at the cost of O(n) getters.

implementation will be patched to ensure bitswap messages cannot contain
duplicate blocks or keys

Move go-ipfs/bitswap package to go-ipfs/exchange/bitswap

* Delineates the difference between the generic exchange interface and
  implementations (eg. BitSwap protocol)

  Thus, the bitswap protocol can be refined without having to overthink
  how future exchanges will work. Aspects common to BitSwap and other
  exchanges can be extracted out to the exchange package in piecemeal.

  Future exchange implementations can be placed in sibling packages next
  to exchange/bitswap. (eg. exchange/multilateral)
