Ref: #2563
I added IPC as an unencrypted alternative to SocketPV.
Besides I fixed the following aspects of SocketPV:
Added locking since we are operating on a single socket
The connection deadline is extended every time a successful packet exchange happens; otherwise the connection would always die permanently x seconds after the connection was established.
Added a ping/heartbeat mechanism to keep the connection alive; native TCP keepalives do not work in this use-case
* Extend the SecureConn socket to extend its deadline
* Add locking & ping/heartbeat packets to SocketPV
* Implement IPC PV and abstract socket signing
* Refactored IPC and SocketPV
* Implement @melekes comments
* Fixes to rebase
* WIP: switching to fixed offsets for SignBytes
* add version field to sign bytes and update order
* more comments on test-cases and add a tc with a chainID
* remove amino:"write_empty" tag
- it doesn't affect if default fixed size fields ((u)int64) are
written or not
- add comment about int->int64 casting
* update CHANGELOG_PENDING
* update documentation
* add back link to issue #1622 in documentation
* remove JSON tags and add (failing test-case)
* fix failing test
* update test-vectors due to added `Type` field
* change Type field from string to byte and add new type alias
- SignedMsgType replaces VoteTypePrevote, VoteTypePrecommit and adds new
ProposalType to separate votes from proposal when signed
- update test-vectors
* fix remains from rebasing
* use SignMessageType instead of byte everywhere
* fixes from review
* switch to amino for SignBytes and add Reply with error message
- currently only Vote is done
* switch Reply type in socket for other messages
- add error description on error
* add TODOs regarding error handling
* address comments from peer review session (thx @xla)
- contains all changes besides the test-coverage / error'ing branches
* increase test coverage:
- add tests for each newly introduced error'ing code path
* return error if received wrong response
* add test for wrong response branches (ErrUnexpectedResponse)
* update CHANGELOG_PENDING and related documentation (spec)
* fix typo: s/CanonicallockID/CanonicalBlockID
* fixes from review
Currently the top level directory contains basically all of the code
for the crypto package. This PR moves the crypto code into submodules
in a similar manner to what `golang/x/crypto` does. This improves code
organization.

except now we calculate the max size using the maxPacketMsgSize()
function, which frees developers from having to know amino encoding
details.
plus, 10 additional bytes are added to leave the room for amino upgrades
(both making it more efficient / less efficient)
This is a maintenance change to move the private validator package out
of the types and to a top-level location. There is no good reason to
keep it under the types and it will more clearly coommunicate where
additions related to the privval belong. It leaves the interface and the
mock in types for now as it would introduce circular dependency between
privval and types, this should be resolved eventually.
* mv priv_validator to privval pkg
* use consistent `privval` as import
Follow-up to #1255
