This adds an implementation of the current discovery v5 spec.
There is full integration with cmd/devp2p and enode.Iterator in this
version. In theory we could enable the new protocol as a replacement of
discovery v4 at any time. In practice, there will likely be a few more
changes to the spec and implementation before this can happen.
* log: delete RotatingFileHandler
We added this for the dashboard, which is gone now. The
handler never really worked well and had data race and file
handling issues.
* internal/debug: remove unused RotatingFileHandler setup code
This adds an implementation of node discovery via DNS TXT records to the
go-ethereum library. The implementation doesn't match EIP-1459 exactly,
the main difference being that this implementation uses separate merkle
trees for tree links and ENRs. The EIP will be updated to match p2p/dnsdisc.
To maintain DNS trees, cmd/devp2p provides a frontend for the p2p/dnsdisc
library. The new 'dns' subcommands can be used to create, sign and deploy DNS
discovery trees.
* p2p/discover: export Ping and RequestENR
These two are useful for checking the status of a node.
* cmd/devp2p: add devp2p debug tool
This is a new tool for debugging p2p issues. It supports a few
basic tasks for now, but many more things can and will be added
in the near future.
devp2p enrdump -- prints ENRs readably
devp2p discv4 ping -- checks if a node is up
devp2p discv4 requestenr -- gets a node's record
devp2p discv4 resolve -- finds a node through the DHT
