This lets us add message types in the future, for authentication or
other purposes, without completely breaking old clients. I see this as
similar behavior to adding fields to messages - newer clients must
simple be aware that older ones may ignore the message and act
accordingly.

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.

This is in preparation for future changes, but also improves the
handling when talking to pre-v0.13 clients. It breaks out the Hello
message and magic from the rest of the protocol implementation, with the
intention that this small part of the protocol will survive future
changes.
To enable this, and future testing, the new ExchangeHello function takes
an interface that can be implemented by future Hello versions and
returns a version indendent result type. It correctly detects pre-v0.13
protocols and returns a "too old" error message which gets logged to the
user at warning level:
[I6KAH] 09:21:36 WARNING: Connecting to [...]:
the remote device speaks an older version of the protocol (v0.12) not
compatible with this version
Conversely, something entirely unknown will generate:
[I6KAH] 09:40:27 WARNING: Connecting to [...]:
the remote device speaks an unknown (newer?) version of the protocol
The intention is that in future iterations the Hello exchange will
succeed on at least one side and ExchangeHello will return the actual
data from the Hello together with ErrTooOld and an even more precise
message can be generated.

This implements a new debug/trace infrastructure based on a slightly
hacked up logger. Instead of the traditional "if debug { ... }" I've
rewritten the logger to have no-op Debugln and Debugf, unless debugging
has been enabled for a given "facility". The "facility" is just a
string, typically a package name.
This will be slightly slower than before; but not that much as it's
mostly a function call that returns immediately. For the cases where it
matters (the Debugln takes a hex.Dump() of something for example, and
it's not in a very occasional "if err != nil" branch) there is an
l.ShouldDebug(facility) that is fast enough to be used like the old "if
debug".
The point of all this is that we can now toggle debugging for the
various packages on and off at runtime. There's a new method
/rest/system/debug that can be POSTed a set of facilities to enable and
disable debug for, or GET from to get a list of facilities with
descriptions and their current debug status.
Similarly a /rest/system/log?since=... can grab the latest log entries,
up to 250 of them (hardcoded constant in main.go) plus the initial few.
Not implemented in this commit (but planned) is a simple debug GUI
available on /debug that shows the current log in an easily pasteable
format and has checkboxes to enable the various debug facilities.
The debug instructions to a user then becomes "visit this URL, check
these boxes, reproduce your problem, copy and paste the log". The actual
log viewer on the hypothetical /debug URL can poll regularly for new log
entries and this bypass the 250 line limit.
The existing STTRACE=foo variable is still obeyed and just sets the
start state of the system.
