We had a very nasty problem: handshakes were serial so incoming
dials would wait for each other to finish handshaking. this was
particularly problematic when handshakes hung-- nodes would not
recover quickly. This led to gateways not bootstrapping peers
fast enough.
The approach taken here is to do what crypto/tls does:
defer the handshake until Read/Write[1]. There are a number of
reasons why this is _the right thing to do_:
- it delays handshaking until it is known to be necessary (doing io)
- it "accepts" before the handshake, getting the handshake out of the
critical path entirely.
- it defers to the user's parallelization of conn handling. users
must implement this in some way already so use that, instead of
picking constants surely to be wrong (how many handshakes to run
in parallel?)

- updated go-ctxgroup and goprocess
ctxgroup: AddChildGroup was changed to AddChild. Used in two files:
- p2p/net/mock/mock_net.go
- routing/dht/dht.go
- updated context from hg repo to git
prev. commit in hg was ad01a6fcc8a19d3a4478c836895ffe883bd2ceab. (context: make parentCancelCtx iterative)
represents commit 84f8955a887232b6308d79c68b8db44f64df455c in git repo
- updated context to master (b6fdb7d8a4ccefede406f8fe0f017fb58265054c)
