This commit modifies the existing wire.Message interface to introduce a
new MessageEncoding variant which dictates the exact encoding to be
used when serializing and deserializing messages. Such an option is now
necessary due to the segwit soft-fork package, as btcd will need to be
able to optionally encode transactions/blocks without witness data to
un-upgraded peers.
Two new functions have been introduced: ReadMessageWithEncodingN and
WriteMessageWithEncodingN which wrap BtcDecode/BtcEncode with the
desired encoding format.
Putting the test code in the same package makes it easier for forks
since they don't have to change the import paths as much and it also
gets rid of the need for internal_test.go to bridge.
This same thing should probably be done for the majority of the code
base.
This commit contains the entire btcwire repository along with several
changes needed to move all of the files into the wire directory in
order to prepare it for merging. This does NOT update btcd or any of the
other packages to use the new location as that will be done separately.
- All import paths in the old btcwire test files have been changed to the
new location
- All references to btcwire as the package name have been chagned to
wire
- The coveralls badge has been removed since it unfortunately doesn't
support coverage of sub-packages
This is ongoing work toward #214.
