This is a rework of some parts of the API to make connection management
for applications more sane and reliable.
- The RicochetService interface is split into the ServiceHandler and
ConnectionHandler interfaces. ServiceHandler is implemented by the
application to handle inbound connections to a listener.
ConnectionHandler is implemented to handle events for a single
OpenConnection. Handler instances should no longer be shared for
different listeners or connections.
- Instead of automatically starting a processConnection goroutine, the
application is now responsible for calling OpenConnection.Process in a
goroutine to act on the connection. This function blocks until the
connection is closed. This change allows a better application pattern
for setting the handler of a connection and reacting to connection
loss.
- It is no longer necessary to have started a listener in order to make
outbound connections.
- The Ricochet type is removed, because it no longer served any purpose,
and this avoids having any shared state between different listeners or
connections.
