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)
