WIP: Streaming Raft

## Overview ![status](http://img.shields.io/%20/work%20in%20progress.png?color=red)

This pull request adds a high performance, streaming implementation of the [Raft protocol](http://ramcloud.stanford.edu/raft.pdf). This implementation will be used to implement a distributed write-ahead log that will be fanned out to the rest of the nodes in the cluster.

Further discussion of the replication strategy can be found in the [Multi-raft PR](https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/pull/859).


## Performance Target

The performance target for streaming Raft is to be able to replicate 2 million small messages per second in a 3 node cluster. InfluxDB uses small messages so the payload size will be 32 bytes for our tests.

### Encoding & decoding performance

The following benchmark was run against b4acaaf:

```sh
$ go test -bench=.
BenchmarkLogEntryEncoderEncode_8b	20000000	       114 ns/op	 243.99 MB/s	     102 B/op	       1 allocs/op
BenchmarkLogEntryEncoderEncode_32b	20000000	       135 ns/op	 382.37 MB/s	     179 B/op	       1 allocs/op
BenchmarkLogEntryDecoderDecode_8b	20000000	       154 ns/op	 181.48 MB/s	      40 B/op	       1 allocs/op
BenchmarkLogEntryDecoderDecode_32b	20000000	       172 ns/op	 302.01 MB/s	      64 B/op	       2 allocs/op
```

At 32 bytes per message, we are able to encode 7.4M msg/sec and decode 5.8M msg/sec. Further optimizations may be necessary but this is a good start.


## TODO

This pull request is a work in progress. The following needs to be completed:

- [x] Package doc
- [x] LogEntryEncoder
- [x] LogEntryDecoder
- [x] Log Heartbeat
- [x] Log Entries
- [x] Log RequestVote
- [x] HTTPTransport
- [x] HTTPHandler
- [ ] TCPTransport
- [ ] TCPListener
- [x] Simulation testing
- [x] Benchmarking

First time I've seen asserts used in Go. The language creators have said they are not fans. You like to use them? Why not just return an error?
