This is an initial commit to create the pumbling for a p2p overlay network to use for payment channels. This is pretty much it for the networking code, the rest of the work revolves around building out the protocol.

Very rough spec can be found here: https://github.com/cpacia/spec/blob/master/paymentchannels.md
Feedback on the spec is welcome. Using libp2p for the overlay makes the most sense as it gives you a fully functional p2p network in like ten lines of code.
TODOs:
depwith libp2p (kind of annoying to get all the dependency versions correct).bchutil)btjsonpackage (bchd). RPCs include (NewPaymentChannelAddress, OpenChannel, CloseChannel, SendPayment, ListChannels, ListChannelTransactions).bchctl(bchd)18 months™
jk probably only a couple weekends worth of work. Feel free to help out if you want.
