Traze Golang Bot

• A bot for the MQTT network based traze challange.
• See https://github.com/iteratec/traze .
• Implements an "area maximizing" bot.
• Inspired by the idea from Pascal van Kooten (see Acknowledgements).

Improvements to Pascal's Idea:

• Computes connected components.
• Attacks a single victim within the own component.
• Falls back to wall hugging when alone in component.
