Mike Hearn 34fea86708 First part of Steves changes in preparation for a high performance multiplexing proxy:
1) Introduce partial support for caching the underlying byte arrays during message deserialization, so re-serialization can be skipped in the case where a message is not modified.
 
 2) Add c'tors that allow a message to be configured to lazily parse on-demand.
 
 Note that the getters/setters that make lazy parsing transparent are coming in future commits.

To get started, ensure you have the latest JDK installed, and download Maven from:

  http://maven.apache.org/

Then run "mvn clean package" to compile the software. You can also run "mvn site:site" to generate a website with
useful information like JavaDocs. The outputs are under the target/ directory.

Now ensure you're running a BitCoin node locally and run the example app:

  mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.google.bitcoin.examples.PingService

It will download the block chain and eventually print a BitCoin address. If you send coins to it,
you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved.

Note that if you connect to a node that is itself downloading the block chain, you will see very slow progress (1
block per second or less). Find a node that isn't heavily loaded to connect to.

If you get a SocketDisconnectedException, the node you've connected to has its max send buffer set to low
(unfortunately the default is too low). Connect to a node that has a bigger send buffer,
settable by passing -maxsendbuffer=25600 to the Bitcoin C++ software.

For the convenience of Eclipse users, you can copy dependency jars to target/dependency using:

    mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
