- 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

Ref: #2563
I added IPC as an unencrypted alternative to SocketPV.
Besides I fixed the following aspects of SocketPV:
Added locking since we are operating on a single socket
The connection deadline is extended every time a successful packet exchange happens; otherwise the connection would always die permanently x seconds after the connection was established.
Added a ping/heartbeat mechanism to keep the connection alive; native TCP keepalives do not work in this use-case
* Extend the SecureConn socket to extend its deadline
* Add locking & ping/heartbeat packets to SocketPV
* Implement IPC PV and abstract socket signing
* Refactored IPC and SocketPV
* Implement @melekes comments
* Fixes to rebase
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
Follow-up to feedback from #1286, this change simplifies the connection
handling in the SocketClient and makes the communication via TCP more
robust. It introduces the tcpTimeoutListener to encapsulate accept and
i/o timeout handling as well as connection keep-alive, this type could
likely be upgraded to handle more fine-grained tuning of the tcp stack
(linger, nodelay, etc.) according to the properties we desire. The same
methods should be applied to the RemoteSigner which will be overhauled
when the priv_val_server is fleshed out.
* require private key
* simplify connect logic
* break out conn upgrades to tcpTimeoutListener
* extend test coverage and simplify component setup
