* p2p: new dialer, peer management without locksFelix Lange2015-05-251-0/+482
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.
