See the discussion below. A future commit will implement the closer
change below, and rebase this one on top.

<•jbenet> `n.Diagnostics.GetDiagnostic(time.Second * 20)` is not being respected. should it use a context instead? or is it a timeout because the timeout is sent to other nodes?
<•jbenet> oh it's that the io doesnt respect the context so we're stuck waiting for responses.
<•jbenet> this is that complex interface point between the world of contexts, and the world of io. ctxutil.Reader/Writer is made for this, but you have to make sure to defer close the stream. (see how dht_net uses it). i'd love to find a safer interface. not sure what it is, but we have to a) respect contexts, and b) allow using standard io.Reader/Writers. Maybe TRTTD
<•jbenet> is have ctxutil.Reader/Writer take ReadCloser and WriteClosers and always close them. the user _must_ pass an ioutil. NopCloser to avoid ctxutil closing on you when you dont want it to.
<•jbenet> this seems safer to me in the general case.
