Matt Corallo 4908c241f7 Implement server-side and client-side payment channel protocols.
This implements micropayment payment channels in several parts:
 * Adds PaymentChannel[Server|Client]State state machines which
   handle initialization of the payment channel, keep track of
   basic in-memory state, and check data received from the other
   side, based on Mike Hearn's initial implementation.
 * StoredPaymentChannel[Client|Server]States manage channel
   timeout+broadcasting of relevant transactions at that time,
   keeping track of state objects which allow for channel
   resume, and are saved/loaded as a WalletExtension.
 * Adds PaymentChannel[Client|Server] which manage a connection
   by getting new protobufs, generating protobufs for the other
   side, properly stepping the associated State object and
   ensuring the StoredStates object is properly used to save
   state in the wallet.
 * Adds PaymentChannel[ClientConnection|ServerListener] which
   create TCP sockets to each other and use
   PaymentChannel[Client|Server] objects to create/use payment
   channels.

The algorithm implemented is the one described at
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts#Example_7:_Rapidly-adjusted_.28micro.29payments_to_a_pre-determined_party
with a slight tweak to use looser SIGHASH flags so that the
Wallet.completeTx code can work its magic by adding more inputs if
it saves on fees.

Thanks to Mike Hearn for the initial state machine implementations
and all his contracts work and Jeremy Spilman for suggesting the
protocol modification that works with non-standard nLockTime
Transactions.
