This commit adds a new message to the brontide.Conn struct which allows callers to read an _entire_ message from the stream. As defined now, brontide is a message crypto messaging protocol. Previously the only method that allowed callers to read attempted to hide this feature with a stream-like abstraction. However, having this as the sole interface is at odds with the message oriented Lightning wire protocol, and isn’t sufficient to allow parsing messages that have been padded as is allowed by the protocol. This new ReadNextMessage is intended to be used by higher level systems which implement the Lightning p2p protocol. |

brontide
The brontide package implements a secure crypto messaging protocol based off of the Noise Protocol Framework. The package exposes the raw state machine that handles the handshake and subsequent message encryption/decryption scheme. Additionally, the package exposes a net.Conn and a net.Listener interface implementation which allows the encrypted transport to be seamlessly integrated into a codebase.
The secure messaging scheme implemented within this package is described in detail in BOLT #8 of the Lightning Network specifications.
This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing secure encrypted+authenticated communications between network enabled programs.
