we used to accumulate hacks and further maps and workaround just to ensure that "to each IP address, establish a single connection" -- esp. at startup of the primary (where it may want to inform a single IP about 100 zones; or when it received a signed SOA request (with a root key) for the root zone, replying with NOTIFY for all authoritative zones) and secondary (where it may want to request the SOA of a single primary for multiple zones). now, instead of having the result (ip * cstruct.t) list, using (ip * cstruct.t list) list allows the effectful layer to send all the notify/requests to that single ip address at once! (i.e. no fold and establish connections necessary :)

similarly, the secondary API got slightly revised, turns out handle_* may only ever result in one reply and optionally one other packet to the authoritative (i.e. when a notify is received, a notify_ack is replied with, and a SOA request is sent (or directly ixfr/axfr if the notify contained a signed soa)).

now, the ad-hoc tcp_packet_transit map is gone, there are retransmissions in the timer function which care exactly about that (that something is sent, but not acknowledged on the protocol level).

this cleans up #169 and #170, could get some unit tests about the above described startup and update struggle, and looks to me as the last blocker of a release.

@cfcs if you could review this as now, that'd be great. i'll surely push some more documentation and unit tests directly on this PR before merging, think a bit more, and likely tag a release (unless you find blockers -- i guess #165 would be good to have fixed as well, I'll propose in a separate PR in a few minutes).

Looks good to me.

- handle_buf/handle_packet return type is packet option
- closed return type is cstruct.t list
- timer return type is (ip * cstruct.t list) list
…imer now returns (ip * packet list) tuples, this behaves much better)
- avoid Int64.add and their overflows (use In64.sub instead)
- preserve the <now> timestamp, instead of the old <ts> value
- reduce retransmission of SOA to 3 seconds instead of 5 during startup
  (and add a TODO item for exponential backoff)
