Ismail Khoffi b089587b42 make gosec linter pass (#3294)
* not related to linter: remove obsolete constants:
 - `Insecure` and `Secure` and type `Security` are not used anywhere

* not related to linter: update example

 - NewInsecure was deleted; change example to NewRemoteDB

* address: Binds to all network interfaces (gosec):

 - bind to localhost instead of 0.0.0.0
 - regenerate test key and cert for this purpose (was valid for ::) and
 otherwise we would see:
 transport: authentication handshake failed: x509: certificate is
 valid for ::, not 127.0.0.1\"

(used https://github.com/google/keytransparency/blob/master/scripts/gen_server_keys.sh
to regenerate certs)

* use sha256 in tests instead of md5; time difference is negligible

* nolint usage of math/rand in test and add comment on its import

 - crypto/rand is slower and we do not need sth more secure in tests

* enable linter in circle-ci

* another nolint math/rand in test

* replace another occurrence of md5

* consistent comment about importing math/rand

crypto

crypto is the cryptographic package adapted for Tendermint's uses

Importing it

To get the interfaces, import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto"

For any specific algorithm, use its specific module e.g. import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto/ed25519"

If you want to decode bytes into one of the types, but don't care about the specific algorithm, use import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto/amino"

Binary encoding

For Binary encoding, please refer to the Tendermint encoding spec.

JSON Encoding

crypto .Bytes() uses Amino:binary encoding, but Amino:JSON is also supported.

Example Amino:JSON encodings:

ed25519.PrivKeyEd25519     - {"type":"954568A3288910","value":"EVkqJO/jIXp3rkASXfh9YnyToYXRXhBr6g9cQVxPFnQBP/5povV4HTjvsy530kybxKHwEi85iU8YL0qQhSYVoQ=="}
ed25519.PubKeyEd25519      - {"type":"AC26791624DE60","value":"AT/+aaL1eB0477Mud9JMm8Sh8BIvOYlPGC9KkIUmFaE="}
