This commit just moves things around and patches import paths.

Initial tower-based peer implementation. (#17)
Add a tower-based peer implementation.  

Tower provides middleware for request-response oriented protocols, while Bitcoin/Zcash just send messages which could be interpreted either as requests or responses, depending on context.  To bridge this mismatch we define our own internal request/response protocol, and implement a per-peer event loop that scans incoming messages and interprets them either as requests from the remote peer to our node, or as responses to requests we made previously.  This is performed by the `PeerService` task, and a corresponding `PeerClient: tower::Service` can send it requests.  These tasks are themselves created by a `PeerConnector: tower::Service` which dials a remote peer and performs a handshake.

Henry de Valence 958fca8e68 Parse inv messages, refactor inventory vectors.
This removes the inventory vector structs from `zebra-chain` (as they
are really part of the network protocol) and refactors them into a
single `InventoryHash` type.  This corresponds to Bitcoin's "inventory
vector" but with a different, better name (it's not a vector, it's just
a typed hash of some other item).

Henry de Valence ab06750db3 zebra-network: move types -> protocol::types
These types are used for protocol messages, so it makes more sense to
keep them scoped with the protocol handling, rather than other
networking logic.

Henry de Valence 4e1285b568 Refactor message serialization as a tokio codec.
This provides a significantly cleaner API to consumers, because it
allows using adaptors that convert a TCP stream to a stream of messages,
and potentially allows more efficient message handling.

Henry de Valence 0b1acc50c3 Make a new protocol module with message submodule.
This allows us to organize all of the Bitcoin-Zcash specific parts of
the protocol into a subtree.
