The net package is the next to move. It will be massaged
a bit still to fix the Network / "NetworkBackend" conflict.

I think it's time to move a lot of the peer-to-peer networking
but-not-ipfs-specific things into its own package: p2p.
This could in the future be split off into its own library.
The first thing to go is the peer.

This commit replaces peer.PeerInfo with peer.ID in the bitswap package

@jbenet @whyrusleeping

the next commit will change bitswap.Network.FindProviders to only deal
with IDs

This reverts commit bf88f1aec5e3d397f97d64de52b52686cc7a8c8f.

Had to change the network interface from DialPeer(peer.ID) to
DialPeer(peer.PeerInfo), so that addresses of a provider are
handed to the network.

@maybebtc and I are discussing whether this should go all the
way down to the network, or whether the network _should always
work_ with just an ID (which means the network needs to be
able to resolve ID -> Addresses, using the routing system.
This latter point might mean that "routing" might need to
break down into subcomponents. It's a bit sketchy that
the Network would become smarter than just dial/listen and
I/O, but maybe there's a distinction between net.Network,
and something like a peernet.Network that has routing
built in...)

this is a major refactor of the entire codebase
it changes the monolithic peer.Peer into using
a peer.ID and a peer.Peerstore.

Other changes:
- removed handshake3.
-	testutil vastly simplified peer
-	secio bugfix + debugging logs
-	testutil: RandKeyPair
-	backpressure bugfix: w.o.w.
-	peer: added hex enc/dec
-	peer: added a PeerInfo struct
  PeerInfo is a small struct used to pass around a peer with
 	a set of addresses and keys. This is not meant to be a
 	complete view of the system, but rather to model updates to
 	the peerstore. It is used by things like the routing system.
-	updated peer/queue + peerset
-	latency metrics
-	testutil: use crand for PeerID gen
 	RandPeerID generates random "valid" peer IDs. it does not
 	NEED to generate keys because it is as if we lost the key
 	right away. fine to read some randomness and hash it. to
 	generate proper keys and an ID, use:
 	  sk, pk, _ := testutil.RandKeyPair()
 	  id, _ := peer.IDFromPublicKey(pk)
 	Also added RandPeerIDFatal helper
- removed old spipe
- updated seccat
- core: cleanup initIdentity
- removed old getFromPeerList

remove 'adapter' concept
instead, describe the component as the bitswap network

it's still an adapter, but it's just not necessary to describe it as
such

Important bugfix. Otherwise bitswap cannot message peers
the node has not connected to yet :(

new Service interface

Rather than pushing errors back down to lower layers, propagate the
errors upward.

This commit adds a `ReceiveError` method to BitSwap's network receiver.

Still TODO: rm the error return value from:

    net.service.handler.HandleMessage

This is inspired by delegation patterns in found in the wild.

style(exch:bitswap) rename NetMessage adapter impl

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)
