daemon: encrypted communication (version 3)

After useful feedback from Anthony Towns and Mats Jerratsch (of
thunder.network fame), this is the third version of inter-node crypto.

1) First, each side sends a 33-byte session pubkey.  This is a
   bitcoin-style compressed EC key, unique for each session.
  
2) ECDH is used to derive a shared secret.  From this we generate
   the following transmission encoding parameters for each side:
   Session AES-128 key: SHA256(shared-secret || my-sessionpubkey || 0)
   Session HMAC key: SHA256(shared-secret || my-sessionpubkey || 1)
   IV for AES: SHA256(shared-secret || my-sessionpubkey || 2)

3) All packets from then on are encrypted of form:
	/* HMAC, covering totlen and data */
	struct sha256 hmac;
	/* Total data transmitted (including this). */
	le64 totlen;
	/* Encrypted contents, rounded up to 16 byte boundary. */
	u8 data[];

4) The first packet is an Authenticate protobuf, containing this node's
   pubkey, and a bitcoin-style EC signature of the other side's session
   pubkey.

5) Unknown protobuf fields are handled in the protocol as follows
   (including in the initial Authenticate packet):

   1) Odd numbered fields are optional, and backwards compatible.
   2) Even numbered fields are required; abort if you get one.

Currently both sides just send an error packet "hello" after the
handshake, and make sure they receive the same.
