wireprotov2: establish a type for representing command response
It will be desirable to have a higher-level type for representing
command responses. This will allow us to do nicer things.
For now, the instance encapsulates existing logic. It is still
a bit primitive. But we're slowly making things better.
Version 1 protocols have a wrapping layer that decodes the raw
string data into a data structure and that data structure is
sent to the future. Version 2 doesn't yet have this layer and
the future is receiving the raw wire response. Hence why
debugcommands needed to be taught about the response type.

wireprotov2: move response handling out of httppeer
And fix some bugs while we're here.
The code for processing response data from the unified framing
protocol is mostly peer agnostic. The peer-specific bits are the
configuration of the client reactor and how I/O is performed. I
initially implemented things in httppeer for expediency.
This commit establishes a module for holding the peer API level
code for the framing based protocol. Inside this module we have
a class to help coordinate higher-level activities, such as managing
response object.
The client handler bits could be rolled into clientreactor. However,
I want clientreactor to be sans I/O and I want it to only be
concerned with protocol-level details, not higher-level concepts
like how protocol events are converted into peer API concepts. I
want clientreactor to receive a frame and then tell the caller what
should probably be done about it. If we start putting things like
future resolution into clientreactor, we'll constrain how the protocol
can be used (e.g. by requiring futures).
The new code is loosely based on what was in httppeer before. I
changed things a bit around response handling. We now buffer the
entire response "body" and then handle it as one atomic unit. This
fixed a bug around decoding CBOR data that spanned multiple frames.
I also fixed an off-by-one bug where we failed to read a single byte
CBOR value at the end of the stream. That's why tests have changed.
The new state of httppeer is much cleaner. It is largely agnostic
about framing protocol implementation details. That's how it should
be: the framing protocol is designed to be largely transport
agnostic. We want peers merely putting bytes on the wire and telling
the framing protocol where to read response data from.
There's still a bit of work to be done here, especially for
representing responses. But at least we're a step closer to having a
higher-level peer interface that can be plugged into the SSH peer
someday.
I initially added this class to wireprotoframing. However, we'll
eventually need version 2 specific functions to convert CBOR responses
into data structures expected by the code calling commands. This
needs to live somewhere. Since that code would be shared across peers,
we need a common module. We have wireprotov1peer for the equivalent
version 1 code. So I decided to establish wireprotov2peer.
