Juan Leni 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
