Package protocols is an extension to p2p. It offers a user friendly simple way to define
devp2p subprotocols by abstracting away code standardly shared by protocols.

* automate assigments of code indexes to messages
* automate RLP decoding/encoding based on reflecting
* provide the forever loop to read incoming messages
* standardise error handling related to communication
* standardised	handshake negotiation
* TODO: automatic generation of wire protocol specification for peers
