Dave Collins e0ce788881 Update addresses to work with regtest network. 
The prefix byte (netID) which is used to encode address is the same for
both the public test and regression test networks.  Previously the code
was working under the assumption there was a 1-to-1 mapping of prefix byte
to bitcoin network, however as noted above that assumption was not
correct.

This commit modifies things a bit to choose the prefix byte at address
creation time instead of at encode time and internally stores the prefix
byte instead of the network.  It also adds a new function, IsForNet, to the
Address interface which allows callers to test if an address is valid for
the passed network type.  The end result of this change is that callers
will only need to change their checks from testing if addr.Net() is the
active bitcoin network to instead using addr.IsForNet(activeNet).

Closes #2.

btcutil

[Build Status] (https://travis-ci.org/conformal/btcutil)

Package btcutil provides bitcoin-specific convenience functions and types. A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality. See test_coverage.txt for the gocov coverage report. Alternatively, if you are running a POSIX OS, you can run the cov_report.sh script for a real-time report. Package btcutil is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

This package was developed for btcd, an alternative full-node implementation of bitcoin which is under active development by Conformal. Although it was primarily written for btcd, this package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing the functionality provided.

Documentation

Full go doc style documentation for the project can be viewed online without installing this package by using the GoDoc site here: http://godoc.org/github.com/conformal/btcutil

You can also view the documentation locally once the package is installed with the godoc tool by running godoc -http=":6060" and pointing your browser to http://localhost:6060/pkg/github.com/conformal/btcutil
