refactor: merge transport serializer and deserializer into Transport …

…class

This allows state that is shared between both directions to be encapsulated
into a single object. Specifically the v2 transport protocol introduced by
BIP324 has sending state (the encryption keys) that depends on received
messages (the DH key exchange). Having a single object for both means it can
hide logic from callers related to that key exchange and other interactions.
