Juan Batiz-Benet c84a714b16 peer change: peer.Peer -> peer.ID
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

Network

The IPFS Network package handles all of the peer-to-peer networking. It connects to other hosts, it encrypts communications, it muxes messages between the network's client services and target hosts. It has multiple subcomponents:

  • Conn - a connection to a single Peer
    • MultiConn - a set of connections to a single Peer
    • SecureConn - an encrypted (tls-like) connection
  • Swarm - holds connections to Peers, multiplexes from/to each MultiConn
  • Muxer - multiplexes between Services and Swarm. Handles Requet/Reply.
    • Service - connects between an outside client service and Network.
    • Handler - the client service part that handles requests

It looks a bit like this:
