Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
This introduces CNetAddr and CService, respectively wrapping an
(IPv6) IP address and an IP+port combination. This functionality used
to be part of CAddress, which also contains network flags and
connection attempt information. These extra fields are however not
always necessary.
These classes, along with logic for creating connections and doing
name lookups, are moved to netbase.{h,cpp}, which does not depend on
headers.h.
Furthermore, CNetAddr is mostly IPv6-ready, though IPv6
functionality is not yet enabled for the application itself.
This commit does *not* and should not modify *any* code, it only moves
it from net.h and splits it across protocol.cpp and protocol.hpp.

Move CMessageHeader from net.h to protocol.[ch]pp, with the
implementation in the .cpp compilation unit (compiling once is enough).
This commit does *not* and should not modify *any* code, it only moves
it from net.h and splits it across protocol.cpp and protocol.hpp.
Indentation changes aside the closest thing to a modification of code is
the addition of the 'TODO' comment (the execution of which requires code
modifications and thus doesn't belong in this commit).
