To improve the reliability and flexibility of the protocol, we introduce
multiplexing over peer connections. This involves a new `Frame` type
that carries a stream-id and payload.
Three stream types are made available:
1. Control
2. Gossip
3. Git
This change brings the following improvements:
* Removed need to queue fetch requests
* Removed need to queue gossip messages
* Removed need for `Fetch` and `FetchOk` messages
* Service doesn't need to know about inbound fetches
* Removed one round-trip for fetch negotiation
* Removed special `done` git packet
* Removed session logic and state around Git/Fetch protocols
* Removed code around upgrading/downgrading transport
* Worker in responder mode is able to process any number of fetches
* Connections support any number of concurrent fetches
We had to introduce a few extra things however to make it all work:
* A `VarInt` type for variable-length integers, since we want the frames
to be lightweight.
* A custom "tunnel" implementation, since we couldn't use the existing
one anymore.
Overall the change removes more complexity than it adds, while improving
the protocol along the way.
To ensure the behaviour of ignoring references that are owned by the
local peer a test case is added.
The case has two peers: alice and bob, where alice creates a new
repository. bob fetches to be up-to-date with alice. alice, in turn,
creates an issue and fetches from bob -- which should be successful.
If the refspec:
^refs/namespaces/<alice>/*
was not in place, her fetch from bob would fail since the signed
references would not be a fast-forward.

The `routes_to` function can loop infinitely during test.
To prevent this from happening a number of tries variable is added. It
checks that the number of tries does not exceed 30, which gives the
function about 3 seconds to complete -- due to the call to
`thread::sleep` using 100ms.

If a path was passed to `Home` in non-canonical form it would not use
the right path for any initialisation or use.
The aim is to use the `canonicalize` function for paths. However, this
may return an error if none of the paths exist. To ensure that the
path exists the `new` constructor for `Home` creates the directory and
canonicalizes the path.
Since `new` now initialises the home directory, it would be useful if
it also initialised all the necessary subdirectories -- which removes
the need for the `init` method.

The last commit of a newly cloned repository should remain untouched by
making `Node::project()` use a repository fixture instead of a randomly
generated one.
