This change improves discovery behavior in small networks. Very small
networks would often fail to bootstrap because all member nodes were
dropping table content due to findnode failure. The check is now changed
to avoid dropping nodes on findnode failure when their bucket is almost
empty. It also relaxes the liveness check requirement for FINDNODE/v4
response nodes, returning unverified nodes as results when there aren't
any verified nodes yet.
The "findnode failed" log now reports whether the node was dropped
instead of the number of results. The value of the "results" was
always zero by definition.

* p2p: add low port check in dialer
We already have a check like this for UDP ports, add a similar one in
the dialer. This prevents dials to port zero and it's also an extra
layer of protection against spamming HTTP servers.
* p2p/discover: use errLowPort in v4 code
* p2p: change port check
* p2p: add comment
* p2p/simulations/adapters: ensure assigned port is in all node records
This adds an implementation of the current discovery v5 spec.
There is full integration with cmd/devp2p and enode.Iterator in this
version. In theory we could enable the new protocol as a replacement of
discovery v4 at any time. In practice, there will likely be a few more
changes to the spec and implementation before this can happen.
* p2p/discover: export Ping and RequestENR
These two are useful for checking the status of a node.
* cmd/devp2p: add devp2p debug tool
This is a new tool for debugging p2p issues. It supports a few
basic tasks for now, but many more things can and will be added
in the near future.
devp2p enrdump -- prints ENRs readably
devp2p discv4 ping -- checks if a node is up
devp2p discv4 requestenr -- gets a node's record
devp2p discv4 resolve -- finds a node through the DHT
This change implements EIP-868. The UDPv4 transport announces support
for the extension in ping/pong and handles enrRequest messages.
There are two uses of the extension: If a remote node announces support
for EIP-868 in their pong, node revalidation pulls the node's record.
The Resolve method requests the record unconditionally.
This change restructures the internals of p2p/discover to make room for
the discv5 code which will soon be added to this package.
- packet type names now have a "V4" suffix.
- ListenUDP returns *UDPv4 instead of *Table. This technically breaks
the API but the only caller in go-ethereum is package p2p, which uses
a compatible interface and doesn't need changes.
- The internal transport interface is changed to make Table reusable for v5.
- The 'lookup' code moves from table to transport. This required
updating the lookup unit test to use udpTest instead of a custom transport.
