Putting the block generator in a util dir until blocks.

Can't put it in util/testutil because the util/testutil/dag-generator
imports blockservice and blockservice uses the generator.

Tough problem. This'll do for now.

If the datastore has a value for the key, we already have
the block. We should not write it again. This will make redundant
writes much faster.

At the moment, a datastore.Has on leveldb is a GetBackedHas.
Track https://github.com/jbenet/go-datastore/issues/6

the u.Hash error can be safely ignored (panic) because multihash
only fails from the selection of hash function. If the fn + length
are valid, it won't error.
