The libp2p-based transport module kept breaking with newer versions of both Go and Libp2p.
This PR replaces it by a GRPC-based transport module that works very similarly, but on top of GRPC.
It is by no means complete and still should only be used for experimenting. For example, it does not use TLS or any form of node authentication. It is useful, however, for testing out protocol implementations in a controlled environment.
