Network ABI Testing

[danpaul000]

Network ABI testing is something we probably should consider for SLP1 QA as well. Right now we blindly break the binary interface between nodes, which makes backwards compatible software updates hard/impossible. We might not want to commit to an ABI yet but knowing that we just broke it would be very nice

• We have two distinct means of generating binary/serialized interfaces, one in JS, one in Rust using bincode.
• Input channels to nodes: RPC & gossip (Tyera/Trent)
• Could use some fuzzing or other intense testing (Tyera)
• Which sockets are we actually using compared to the standard recommendation or 8000-10000 UDP/TCP ports?

@mvines I haven't had any time to start work in this area. That might change before SLP1 drop dead, but seems unlikely. Should we pull in another resource here, or push out the due date?
