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 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

When performing this "promise" pattern, it is important to
provide a
channel with space for one value. Otherwise the sender may
block forever
in the case of a receiver that decides to abandon the
request. A subtle
detail, but one that is important for avoiding
leaked goroutines.

This commit makes GetProviders (sync) respect the request context. It
also amends all of GetProviders' callsites to pass a context in. This
meant changing the signature of the dht's handlerfunc.

I think I'll start referring to the request context as Vito Corleone.
