By putting each DNS seed in its own go routine, btcd can start connecting
to nodes as they are found instead of waiting for all seeds to respond. This
significantly speeds up startup time.
Additionally, logging was added to show how many addresses were fetched from
each seed.
This commits removes a number of golint warnings. There is a class of
warnings which I can't fix due to unsufficient knowledge of the domain
at this point. These are listed here:

This implements --onion (and --onionuser/--onionpass) that enable a
different proxy to be used to connect to .onion addresses. If no main
proxy is supplied then no proxy will be used for non-onion addresses.
Additionally we add --noonion that blocks connection attempts to .onion
addresses entirely (and avoids using tor for proxy dns lookups).
the --tor option has been supersceded and thus removed.
Closes#47
Also, make every subsystem within btcd use its own logger instance so each
subsystem can have its own level specified independent of the others.
This is work towards #48.
Use it to add multiple peer support. We try and keep 8 outbound peers
active at all times.
This address manager is not as complete as the one in bitcoind yet, but
additional functionality is being worked on.
We currently handle (in a similar manner to bitcoind):
- biasing between new and already tried addresses based on number of connected
peers.
- rejection of non-default ports until desparate
- address selection probabilities based on last successful connection and number
of failures.
- routability checks based on known unroutable subnets.
- only connecting to each network `group' once at any one time.
We currently lack support for:
- tor ``addresses'' (an .onion address encoded in 64 bytes of ip address)
- full state save and restore (we just save a json with the list of known
addresses in it)
- multiple buckets for new and tried addresses selected by a hash of address and
source. The current algorithm functions the same as bitcoind would with only
one bucket for new and tried (making the address cache rather smaller than it
otherwise would be).
