And add a generic 'ipfs resolve' to handle cross-protocol name
resolution.

For explicitly enabling recursive behaviour (it was previously always
enabled).  That allows folks who are interested in understanding
layered indirection to step through the chain one link at a time.

This allows direct access to the earlier protocol-specific Resolve
implementations.  The guts of each protocol-specific resolver are in
the internal resolveOnce method, and we've added a new:

  ResolveN(ctx, name, depth)

method to the public interface.  There's also:

  Resolve(ctx, name)

which wraps ResolveN using DefaultDepthLimit.  The extra API endpoint
is intended to reduce the likelyhood of clients accidentally calling
the more dangerous ResolveN with a nonsensically high or infinite
depth.  On IRC on 2015-05-17, Juan said:

15:34 <jbenet> If 90% of uses is the reduced API with no chance to
  screw it up, that's a huge win.
15:34 <wking> Why would those 90% not just set depth=0 or depth=1,
  depending on which they need?
15:34 <jbenet> Because people will start writing `r.Resolve(ctx, name,
  d)` where d is a variable.
15:35 <wking> And then accidentally set that variable to some huge
  number?
15:35 <jbenet> Grom experience, i've seen this happen _dozens_ of
  times. people screw trivial things up.
15:35 <wking> Why won't those same people be using ResolveN?
15:36 <jbenet> Because almost every example they see will tell them to
  use Resolve(), and they will mostly stay away from ResolveN.

The per-prodocol versions also resolve recursively within their
protocol.  For example:

  DNSResolver.Resolve(ctx, "ipfs.io", 0)

will recursively resolve DNS links until the referenced value is no
longer a DNS link.

I also renamed the multi-protocol ipfs NameSystem (defined in
namesys/namesys.go) to 'mpns' (for Multi-Protocol Name System),
because I wasn't clear on whether IPNS applied to the whole system or
just to to the DHT-based system.  The new name is unambiguously
multi-protocol, which is good.  It would be nice to have a distinct
name for the DHT-based link system.

Now that resolver output is always prefixed with a namespace and
unprefixed mpns resolver input is interpreted as /ipfs/,
core/corehttp/ipns_hostname.go can dispense with it's old manual
/ipfs/ injection.

Now that the Resolver interface handles recursion, we don't need the
resolveRecurse helper in core/pathresolver.go.  The pathresolver
cleanup also called for an adjustment to FromSegments to more easily
get slash-prefixed paths.

Now that recursive resolution with the namesys/namesys.go composite
resolver always gets you to an /ipfs/... path, there's no need for the
/ipns/ special case in fuse/ipns/ipns_unix.go.

Now that DNS links can be things other than /ipfs/ or DHT-link
references (e.g. they could be /ipns/<domain-name> references) I've
also loosened the ParsePath logic to only attempt multihash validation
on IPFS paths.  It checks to ensure that other paths have a
known-protocol prefix, but otherwise leaves them alone.

I also changed some key-stringification from .Pretty() to .String()
following the potential deprecation mentioned in util/key.go.

Also changed the ipns dns resolution to use the "dnslink" format

- Modified Godeps/Godeps.json by hand
- [TEST] Updated welcome docs hash to sharness
- [TEST] Updated contact doc
- [TEST] disabled breaking test (t0080-repo refs local)

Addresses bug #689

core/commands: Refactored command marshalers

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

Also:
- map[cmds.EncodingType]cmds.Marshaller -> MarshalMap

these weren't actually modified when commands2 was introduced. they're
exact replicas of the ones that presently exist in core/commands.
