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...

- In the few places where we wrap errors, use the new Go 1.13 "%w"
construction instead of %s or %v.
- Where we create errors with constant strings, consistently use
errors.New and not fmt.Errorf.
- Remove capitalization from errors in the few places where we had that.
I'm working through linter complaints, these are some fixes. Broad
categories:
1) Ignore errors where we can ignore errors: add "_ = ..." construct.
you can argue that this is annoying noise, but apart from silencing the
linter it *does* serve the purpose of highlighting that an error is
being ignored. I think this is OK, because the linter highlighted some
error cases I wasn't aware of (starting CPU profiles, for example).
2) Untyped constants where we though we had set the type.
3) A real bug where we ineffectually assigned to a shadowed err.
4) Some dead code removed.
There'll be more of these, because not all packages are fixed, but the
diff was already large enough.
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.
