Turns out, C# node no longer broadcasts an Inv when it's creating a block,
instead it sends a ping and if we're not paying attention to the height
specified there we're technically missing a new block. Of course we'll get it
later after ping timer expiration and regular ping/pong sequence, but that's
delaying it for no good reason.
Closes#1192
1. We now have CMDGetBlockByIndex, so there's no need to request headers
first when we can just ask for blocks.
2. We don't ask for headers (i.e. we don't send CMDGetHeaders),
consequently, we shouldn't react on CMDHeaders.
3. But we still keep on reacting on CMDGetHeaders command as
there could be a node which needs headers.
We make it explicit in the appropriate Block/Transaction structures, not via a
singleton as C# node does. I think this approach has a bit more potential and
allows better packages reuse for different purposes.
We can still lock the (*Server).run with dead peers:

The problem is that the select in putPacketIntoQueue() only works the way it
was intended to after the `close(p.done)`, but that happens only after
successful unregistration request send. Thus, do disconnects the other way
around, first unblock queueing and exit goroutines, then destroy the
connection (if it wasn't previously destroyed) and only after that signal to
the Server.
We can leak sending goroutines and stall broadcasts because of already gone
peers that happened to be cached by some s.Peers() user (more than 800 of
these can be seen in nodoka log along with (*Server).run blocking on
CMDGetAddr send):

If we have already got Version message, we don't need the rest of handshake to
complete before being able to properly answer the PeerAddr() requests. Fixes
some duplicate connections between machines.
This one is designed to give more priority to direct nodes communication, that
is that their messaging would have more priority than generic broadcasts. It
should improve consensus process under TX pressure and allow to handle
pings in time (preventing disconnects).
Our node was too pingy because of wrong timer setups (that divided timeout
Duration by time.Second), it also was wrong in its time calculations (using
UTC time to calculate intervals). At the same time missing block is a
server-wide problem, so it's better solved with server-wide protocol loop.
1) Make timeout a timeout, don't do magic ping counts.
2) Drop additional timer from the main peer's protocol loop, create it
dynamically and make it disconnect the peer.
3) Don't expose the ping counter to the outside, handle more logic inside the
Peer.
Relates to #430.
We don't and we won't have synchronized clocks in the network so the only
timestamp that we can compare our local time with is the one made
ourselves. What this ping mechanism is used for is to recover from missing the
block broadcast, thus it's appropriate for it to trigger after X seconds of
the local time since the last block received.
Relates to #430.
In reality it will never be true exactly in the case where we want this ping
mechanism to work --- when the node failed to get a block from the net. It
won't get the header either and thus its block height will be equal to header
height. The only moment when this condition is met is when the node does
initial synchronization and this synchronization works just fine without any
pings.
Relates to #430.
Two queues for high-priority and ordinary messages. Fixes#590. These queues
are deliberately made small to avoid buffer bloat problem, there is gonna be
another queueing layer above them to compensate for that. The queues are
designed to be synchronous in enqueueing, async capabilities are to be added
layer above later.
add pingInterval same as used in ref C# implementation with the same logic
add pingTimeout which is used to check whether pong received. If not -- drop the peer.
add pingLimit which is hardcoded to 4 in TCPPeer. It's limit for unsuccessful ping/pong calls (where pong wasn't received in pingTimeout interval)
Right now message can be written in several Write's so
concurrent calls of writeMsg() can in theory interleave.
This commit fixes it.

Otherwise the node might crash in `startProtocol` because of missing Version
field in the peer. And it also keeps the sequence correct, Version MUST be
sent first and ACKs can only follow it.
This allows to start handshaking from both client and server (mainnet/testnet
nodes were seen to not care about string ordering for it), but still maintains
some sane checks in the process. It also makes functions thread-safe because
we have two goroutines servicing read and write side of the Peer connection,
so they can clash on access to the struct fields.
Add a test for it also.
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
This makes writer side handle errors properly and fixes communication between
reader and writer goroutine to always correctly unregister the peer. This is
especially important for the case where error occurs before handshake
completes as in this case we don't even have goroutine in startProtocol()
running.
Fixes things like:
* exported type/method/function X should have comment or be unexported
* comment on exported type/method/function X should be of the form "X ..."
(with optional leading article)
Refs. #213.
* Made Encode/Decode message public.
* Added Redis storage driver and made some optimizations for the initialising the blockchain
* removed log lines in tcp_peer
* Added missing comments on exported methods.
* bumped version
* block partial persist
* replaced refactored files with old one.
* removed gokit/log from deps
* Tweaks to not overburden remote nodes with getheaders/getblocks
* Changed Transporter interface to not take the server as argument due to a cause of race warning from the compiler
* started server test suite
* more test + return errors from message handlers
* removed --race from build
* Little improvements.
