* Close and recreate a RemoteSigner on err

* Update changelog

* Address Anton's comments / suggestions:

 - update changelog
 - restart TCPVal
 - shut down on `ErrUnexpectedResponse`

* re-init remote signer client with fresh connection if Ping fails

- add/update TODOs in secret connection
- rename tcp.go -> tcp_client.go, same with ipc to clarify their purpose

* account for `conn returned by waitConnection can be `nil`

- also add TODO about RemoteSigner conn field

* Tests for retrying: IPC / TCP

 - shorter info log on success
 - set conn and use it in tests to close conn

* Tests for retrying: IPC / TCP

 - shorter info log on success
 - set conn and use it in tests to close conn
 - add rwmutex for conn field in IPC

* comments and doc.go

* fix ipc tests. fixes #2677

* use constants for tests

* cleanup some error statements

* fixes #2784, race in tests

* remove print statement

* minor fixes from review

* cosmetics

* p2p/conn: add failing tests

* p2p/conn: make SecretConnection thread safe

* changelog

* IPCVal signer refactor

- use a .reset() method
- don't use embedded RemoteSignerClient
- guard RemoteSignerClient with mutex
- drop the .conn
- expose Close() on RemoteSignerClient

* apply IPCVal refactor to TCPVal

* remove mtx from RemoteSignerClient

* consolidate IPCVal and TCPVal, fixes #3104

- done in tcp_client.go
- now called SocketVal
- takes a listener in the constructor
- make tcpListener and unixListener contain all the differences

* delete ipc files

* introduce unix and tcp dialer for RemoteSigner

* rename files

- drop tcp_ prefix
- rename priv_validator.go to file.go

* bring back listener options

* fix node

* fix priv_val_server

* fix node test

* minor cleanup and comments

* split immutable and mutable parts of priv_validator.json

* fix bugs

* minor changes

* retrig test

* delete scripts/wire2amino.go

* fix test

* fixes from review

* privval: remove mtx

* rearrange priv_validator.go

* upgrade path

* write tests for the upgrade

* fix for unsafe_reset_all

* add test

* add reset test

* Align Proposal message with spec

* Update spec

* WIP: switching to fixed offsets for SignBytes

* add version field to sign bytes and update order

* more comments on test-cases and add a tc with a chainID

* remove amino:"write_empty" tag

- it doesn't affect if default fixed size fields ((u)int64) are
written or not
- add comment about int->int64 casting

* update CHANGELOG_PENDING

* update documentation

* add back link to issue #1622 in documentation

* remove JSON tags and add (failing test-case)

* fix failing test

* update test-vectors due to added `Type` field

* change Type field from string to byte and add new type alias

- SignedMsgType replaces VoteTypePrevote, VoteTypePrecommit and adds new
ProposalType to separate votes from proposal when signed

- update test-vectors

* fix remains from rebasing

* use SignMessageType instead of byte everywhere

* fixes from review

* Implement BFT time

* set LastValidators when creating state in state helper

for heights >= 2

Signatures are now []byte, which saves on the number of bytes after
amino encoding

(squash this) address Ismail's comment

Our Tempfile was just a wrapper on ioutil that panicked instead of error.

Our Tempdir was a less safe variant of ioutil's Tempdir.

Currently the top level directory contains basically all of the code
for the crypto package. This PR moves the crypto code into submodules
in a similar manner to what `golang/x/crypto` does. This improves code
organization.

Ref discussion: https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/1966

Closes #1956

This reverts commit 58d0c8de89.

This reverts commit d02c5d1e30.

except now we calculate the max size using the maxPacketMsgSize()
function, which frees developers from having to know amino encoding
details.

plus, 10 additional bytes are added to leave the room for amino upgrades
(both making it more efficient / less efficient)

Also, fix consensus liveness issue.

Should be paired with https://github.com/tendermint/iavl/pull/65.

This reverts commit 96a3502

This is a maintenance change to move the private validator package out
of the types and to a top-level location. There is no good reason to
keep it under the types and it will more clearly coommunicate where
additions related to the privval belong. It leaves the interface and the
mock in types for now as it would introduce circular dependency between
privval and types, this should be resolved eventually.

* mv priv_validator to privval pkg
* use consistent `privval` as import

Follow-up to #1255

As calls to the private validator can involve side-effects like network
communication it is desirable for all methods returning an error to not
break the control flow of the caller.

* adjust PrivValidator interface

NOTE we only updating for tmlibs and abci

since now we have time in the msgs and we might crash between writing
the priv val and writing to wal.

uint64 is considered dangerous. the details will follow in a blog post.
