Improving kv test coverage

* Adds unit tests to kv/local_kv.go and kv/dist_kv.go
* Generalizes gossip network simulation so that it can be used in tests which require gossip networks
* The unit tests for kv/dist_kv found a user permission bug which led to false positives. This is fixed in storage/prefix.go.

I'm brand new to Go, so I would appreciate any advice!
By the way, my latest change removes this particular test in its current formulation because I've moved things around fairly dramatically. So just ignore my comment here.
