P2P Network Commands - CLI

[dutterbutter]

Task summary

We should have the ability to manage the P2P network from the command line similarly the way Lotus has it set up. It will make it much easier during interop if we can easily find or connect to certain peers via CLI. See below commands Lotus provides:

Commands	Desc
peers	Print peers
connect	Connect to a peer
listen	List listen addresses
id	Get node identity
findpeer	Find the addresses of a given peerID
help, h	Shows a list of commands or help for one command

This will likely involve utilizing the existing LibP2P RPC setup and create a new network message type.
