Overview

Skeleton to part 9 of the Whispering Gophers code lab.

This program extends part 8.

It connects to the peer specified by -peer. It accepts connections from peers and receives messages from them. When it sees a peer with an address it hasn't seen before, it makes a connection to that peer. It adds an ID field containing a random string to each outgoing message. When it recevies a message with an ID it hasn't seen before, it broadcasts that message to all connected peers.
