discovery: ensure target host for DNS fallback is fully qualified
In this commit, fix the inability of some users to connect to the DNS
seed using our direct TCP fallback. We do this as some resolvers filter
out our large SRV requests due to their size (they also include public
keys). Instead, we’ll use a direct TCP resolution in this case.
However, after a recent change, we forgot the period at the end of the
target DNS host. This is an issue as the domain needs to be fully
qualified.

The fix is easy, add a period within our string formatting to target
the proper sub-domain and SRV target.

Fixes #854.

discovery: update DNS bootstrapper to adhere to new query schema
In this commit, we update the DNS bootstrapper to match the new query
semantics expected by the new DNS server. We no longer hard code the
target DNS host, and instead, we’ll re-use the same target endpoint as
we only need the soaShim in order to establish a direct TCP connection
for the queries.

e132ad8433 torsvc: Added new module to house Tor functions
This commit adds a new module named 'torsvc' which houses all Tor
functionality in an attempt to isolate it and make it reusable in
other projecs. Some additional tweaks were made to config.go and
to the bootstrapper.

e2142c778f multi: Added Tor support
This commit adds Tor support. Users can set the --TorSocks flag
to specify which port Tor's SOCKS5 proxy is listening on so that
lnd can connect to it. When this flag is set, ALL traffic gets
routed over Tor including DNS traffic. Special functions for
DNS lookups were added, and since Tor doesn't natively support
SRV requests, the proxySRV function routes connects us to
a DNS server via Tor and SRV requests can be issued directly
to the DNS server.

discovery: add TCP fallback for DNSSeedBootstrapper
In this commit, we add a TCP fallback option for the
DNSSeedBootstrapper. We’ve received many reports of users unable to
bootstrap properly to the network due to the size of the SRV records we
currently return. It has been observed that many revolvers will simply
truncate and ignore the response due to the (current size).

To resolve (no pun intended) we now attempt to detect this failure mode
and will fallback to a manual TCP resolution in the case that our SRV
query over UDP fails. We do this by querying the special record at the
"soa." sub-domain of supporting DNS servers. The retuned IP address
will be the IP address of the authoritative DNS server. Once we have
this IP address, we'll connect manually over TCP to request the SRV
record. This is necessary as the records we return are currently too
large for a class of resolvers, causing them to be filtered out.

discovery: add new interface NetworkPeerBootstrapper w/ 2 impls
This commit adds a new interface the to discovery package:
NetworkPeerBootstrapper. The NetworkPeerBootstrapper interface is meant
to be used to bootstrap a new peer joining the network to the set of
existing active peers within the network. Callers are encouraged to
utilize several boostrappers in series as redundant sources of
information. The MultiSourceBootstrap function will takes a set of
boostrappers, and compose their outputs into a single unified set of
addresses.

Two concrete implementations of the NetworkPeerBootstrapper interface
have been added as a part of this commit: the ChannelGraphBootstrapper
and the DNSSeedBootstrapper. The former will utilize the authenticated
node advertisements within the calling nodes view to boostrap new
connections. The latter will use a set of BOLT-0010 compliant DNS seeds
to query. This DNS seeding more will likely be used by nodes initial
joining the network, as they may not yet have the channel graph as they
haven’t connected to any peers.
