Felix Lange 1440f9a37a p2p: new dialer, peer management without locks
The most visible change is event-based dialing, which should be an
improvement over the timer-based system that we have at the moment.
The dialer gets a chance to compute new tasks whenever peers change or
dials complete. This is better than checking peers on a timer because
dials happen faster. The dialer can now make more precise decisions
about whom to dial based on the peer set and we can test those
decisions without actually opening any sockets.

Peer management is easier to test because the tests can inject
connections at checkpoints (after enc handshake, after protocol
handshake).

Most of the handshake stuff is now part of the RLPx code. It could be
exported or move to its own package because it is no longer entangled
with Server logic.

Felix Lange 5ba51594c7 p2p: use package rlp to encode messages
Message encoding functions have been renamed to catch any uses.
The switch to the new encoder can cause subtle incompatibilities.
If there are any users outside of our tree, they will at least be
alerted that there was a change.

NewMsg no longer exists. The replacements for EncodeMsg are called
Send and SendItems.

Felix Lange 7964f30dcb p2p: msg.Payload contains list data
With RLPx frames, the message code is contained in the
frame and is no longer part of the encoded data.

EncodeMsg, Msg.Decode have been updated to match.
Code that decodes RLP directly from Msg.Payload will need
to change.
