/*

NetworkTransport provides a network based transport that can be
used to communicate with Raft on remote machines. It requires
an underlying stream layer to provide a stream abstraction, which can
be simple TCP, TLS, etc.

This transport is very simple and lightweight. Each RPC request is
framed by sending a byte that indicates the message type, followed
by the MsgPack encoded request.

The response is an error string followed by the response object,
both are encoded using MsgPack.

InstallSnapshot is special, in that after the RPC request we stream
the entire state. That socket is not re-used as the connection state
is not known if there is an error.
