When maxPeers was just above some perfect square, and a few peers
dropped for some reason, we changed the peer selection function.
When new peers were acquired, we changed again.
This PR improves the selection function, in two ways. First, it will always select
sqrt(peers) to broadcast to. Second, the selection now uses siphash with a secret
key, to guard against information leaks about tx source.

Prevents a situation where we (not running snap) connects with a peer running snap, and get stalled waiting for snap registration to succeed (which will never happen), which cause a waitgroup wait to halt shutdown
This commit splits the eth package, separating the handling of eth and snap protocols. It also includes the capability to run snap sync (https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/caps/snap.md) , but does not enable it by default.
