node: refactor package node (#21105)
This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.

There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.

There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.

The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.

ping-pong

ping-pong.go implements a simulation network which contains nodes running a simple "ping-pong" protocol where nodes send a ping message to all their connected peers every 10s and receive pong messages in return.

To run the simulation, run go run ping-pong.go in one terminal to start the simulation API and ./ping-pong.sh in another to start and connect the nodes:

$ go run ping-pong.go
INFO [08-15|13:53:49] using sim adapter
INFO [08-15|13:53:49] starting simulation server on 0.0.0.0:8888...
$ ./ping-pong.sh
---> 13:58:12 creating 10 nodes
Created node01
Started node01
...
Created node10
Started node10
---> 13:58:13 connecting node01 to all other nodes
Connected node01 to node02
...
Connected node01 to node10
---> 13:58:14 done

Use the --adapter flag to choose the adapter type:

$ go run ping-pong.go --adapter exec
INFO [08-15|14:01:14] using exec adapter                       tmpdir=/var/folders/k6/wpsgfg4n23ddbc6f5cnw5qg00000gn/T/p2p-example992833779
