Olaoluwa Osuntokun 48abfdf87c BIP0144+wire: add a MessageEncoding variant for serialization/deserialization
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.
