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
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.

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
