1) no need to stop the ticker in createTestGroup() method
2) now there is a symmetry - we start the ticker in OnStart(), we stop it
in OnStop()

We most probably shouldn't be running any further when there is some
unexpected panic. Some unknown error happened, and so we don't know if
that will result in the validator signing an invalid thing. It might be
worthwhile to explore a mechanism for manual resuming via some console
or secure RPC system, but for now, halting the chain upon unexpected
consensus bugs sounds like the better option.
This is to reduce wait times when initially connecting. This still runs checks
such as whether you still want additional peers.
A test case has been created, which fails if this change is not included.
This uses the stdlib's method of creating a tempfile in our write
file atomimc method, with a few modifications. We use a 64 bit number
rather than 32 bit, and therefore a corresponding LCG. This is to
reduce collision probability. (Note we currently used 32 bytes previously,
so this is likely a concern)
We handle reseeding the LCG in such a way that multiple threads are
even less likely to reuse the same seed.
This commit makes it such that circle CI only shows the module whose
tests it is currently running in the log, unless a test fails. For each
failing test, it will display the name of all failing tests, along with
their log output. This is done to make
our log output far more scrollable. We lose no information in debugging.
Previously we logged `Testing for i <i>` for all i in [0,100).
This was unnecessary. This changes it to just log the value for i on
error messages, to reduce the unnecessary verbosity in log files.

Reasons:
- this was a bad patch for something not well understood
Lessons learned:
- nobody should be modifying code without understanding the problem
first. it will only result in more technical debt and code rot.
- we never hide information when we suspect a bug or we'not sure what's
going on.
This PR changes ABCI time format from int64 (Unix seconds) to WKT (WellKnownType) google.protobuf.Timestamp.
Refs #1857
Reasons:
better precision
standard DT for proto
* update Gopkg.lock
* [makefile] remove extra grep
- go list excludes vendor by default now
* proto3 timestamp
* [docs/abci-spec] note about serialisation format
* make time non-nullable
