This adds the ability to have multiple concurrent connections to a single device. This is primarily useful when the network has multiple physical links for aggregated bandwidth. A single connection will never see a higher rate than a single link can give, but multiple connections are load-balanced over multiple links.
It is also incidentally useful for older multi-core CPUs, where bandwidth could be limited by the TLS performance of a single CPU core -- using multiple connections achieves concurrency in the required crypto calculations...

This adds error returns to model methods called by the protocol layer.
Returning an error will cause the connection to be torn down as the
message couldn't be handled. Using this to signal that a folder isn't
currently available will then cause a reconnection a few moments later,
when it'll hopefully work better.
Tested manually by running with STRECHECKDBEVERY=0 on a nontrivially
sized setup. This panics reliably before this patch, but just causes a
disconnect/reconnect now.
This changes the BEP protocol to use protocol buffer serialization
instead of XDR, and therefore also the database format. The local
discovery protocol is also updated to be protocol buffer format.
