Implement peer exchange protocol for more efficient peer discovery and facilitating healthier swarms.

There is sadly no standardized PEX protocol, but rather 3 competing implementations, This paper, specifically section 2.1.4.3, gives a solid overview of the competing protocols and notes that ut_pex is by far the most popular. It's also the one I've seen supported empirically the most, so let's disregard AZ_PEX and BitComet's PEX for webtorrent.

Implemented as ut_pex module.

Minor PR to integrate this extension into bittorrent-client coming shortly.
