Many times, a node will start up only to shut down immediately.
In these cases, reproviding is costly to both the node, and the
rest of the network. Also note: the probability of a node being
up another minute increases with uptime.
TODO: maybe this should be 5 * time.Minute
s/kademlia calls for makign sure to query all peers we
have in our routing table, not just those closest. this
helps ensure most queries resolve properly.
When some queries finished, but we got no result, it should
be a simple NotFoundError. Only when every single query ended
in error do we externalize those to the client, in case
something major is going wrong
This commit moves the record validation/verification
from dht/ into the new record/ packaage. Validator object
-- which is merely a map of ValidatorFuncs -- with a
VerifyRecord

use dht bootstrap. there is an edge case where the dht
is tiny (1?) and we have 0 bootstrap peers. we should
probably _inform_ the user, but this may be more a
webui or command thing.
This is causing test failures because tests don't usually
have "/-/-" format. we can decide whether or not to allow
keys without validators, but for now removing.

TestGetFailures may just be operating very slowly, instead
of completely failing. Right now it gets caught on travis
often. not sure if its actually wrong.
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.
I needed the network implementation in its own
package, because I'll be writing several services that
will plug into _it_ that shouldn't be part of the core net
package. and then there were dependency conflicts. yay.
mux + identify are good examples of what i mean.
