Status Console User Interface

This is not an official Status client. It should be used exclusively for development purposes.

The main motivation for writing this client is to have a second implementation of the messaging protocol in order to run protocol compatibility smoke tests. It will also allow us to iterate faster and test some approaches as eventually we want to move the whole messaging protocol details to status-go.

At the same time, it's more powerful than relying on Status Node JSON-RPC commands because it has direct access to the p2p server and the Whisper service.
