f7f034a8be privval: refactor Remote signers (#3370)
This PR is related to #3107 and a continuation of #3351

It is important to emphasise that in the privval original design, client/server and listening/dialing roles are inverted and do not follow a conventional interaction.

Given two hosts A and B:

    Host A is listener/client
    Host B is dialer/server (contains the secret key)
    When A requires a signature, it needs to wait for B to dial in before it can issue a request.
    A only accepts a single connection and any failure leads to dropping the connection and waiting for B to reconnect.

The original rationale behind this design was based on security.

    Host B only allows outbound connections to a list of whitelisted hosts.
    It is not possible to reach B unless B dials in. There are no listening/open ports in B.

This PR results in the following changes:

    Refactors ping/heartbeat to avoid previously existing race conditions.
    Separates transport (dialer/listener) from signing (client/server) concerns to simplify workflow.
    Unifies and abstracts away the differences between unix and tcp sockets.
    A single signer endpoint implementation unifies connection handling code (read/write/close/connection obj)
    The signer request handler (server side) is customizable to increase testability.
    Updates and extends unit tests

A high level overview of the classes is as follows:

Transport (endpoints): The following classes take care of establishing a connection

    SignerDialerEndpoint
    SignerListeningEndpoint
    SignerEndpoint groups common functionality (read/write/timeouts/etc.)

Signing (client/server): The following classes take care of exchanging request/responses

    SignerClient
    SignerServer

This PR also closes #3601

853dd34d31 privval: improve Remote Signer implementation (#3351)
This issue is related to #3107
This is a first renaming/refactoring step before reworking and removing heartbeats.
As discussed with @Liamsi , we preferred to go for a couple of independent and separate PRs to simplify review work.

The changes:

    Help to clarify the relation between the validator and remote signer endpoints
    Differentiate between timeouts and deadlines
    Prepare to encapsulate networking related code behind RemoteSigner in the next PR

My intention is to separate and encapsulate the "network related" code from the actual signer.

SignerRemote ---(uses/contains)--> SignerValidatorEndpoint <--(connects to)--> SignerServiceEndpoint ---> SignerService (future.. not here yet but would like to decouple too)

All reconnection/heartbeat/whatever code goes in the endpoints. Signer[Remote/Service] do not need to know about that.

I agree Endpoint may not be the perfect name. I tried to find something "Go-ish" enough. It is a common name in go-kit, kubernetes, etc.

Right now:
SignerValidatorEndpoint:

    handles the listener
    contains SignerRemote
    Implements the PrivValidator interface
    connects and sets a connection object in a contained SignerRemote
    delegates PrivValidator some calls to SignerRemote which in turn uses the conn object that was set externally

SignerRemote:

    Implements the PrivValidator interface
    read/writes from a connection object directly
    handles heartbeats

SignerServiceEndpoint:

    Does most things in a single place
    delegates to a PrivValidator IIRC.

* cleanup

* Refactoring step 1

* Refactoring step 2

* move messages to another file

* mark for future work / next steps

* mark deprecated classes in docs

* Fix linter problems

* additional linter fixes
