* Replace mclock with time in peer pools
we used mclock as golang before 1.9 did not support monotonic clocks,
https://github.com/gavv/monotime, it does now https://golang.org/pkg/time/
so we can fallback on the system implementation, which will return
nanoseconds with a resolution that is system dependent.
* Handle case where peer have same discovered time
In some system the resolution of the clock is not high enough so
multiple peers are added on the same nanosecond.
This result in the peer just added being immediately removed.
This code adds a check making sure we don't assume that a peer is added.
Another approach would be to make sure to include the peer in the list,
so prevent the peer just being added to be evicted, but it's slightly
more complicated and the resolution is generally accurate enough for our
purpose so that peers will be fresh enough if they have the same
discovered time.
It also adds a regression test, I had to use an interface to stub the
clock.

* bump version to 0.55.3
Geth decided to link to this place here https://github.com/ethereum/whisper, and it isn't a very welcoming README. Hopefully this points people in the right direction :)
## What has changed?
I've introduced to the public binding functionality that will compress and decompress public keys of a variety of encoding and key types. This functionality supports all major byte encoding formats and the following EC public key types:
- `secp256k1` pks
- `bls12-381 g1` pks
- `bls12-381 g2` pks
## Why make the change?
We want shorter public (chat) keys and we want to be future proof and encoding agnostic. See the issue here https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/1937

* Added basic signature for compresspk and uncompresspk
* Added basic encoding information
* make vendor
* formatted imports for the linter
* Reformatted imports hoping linter likes it
* This linter is capricious
* Added check that the secp256k1 key is valid
* Added test for valid key
* Added multiformat/go-varint dep
* Added public key type handling
* Added key decompression with key type handling
* Added handling for '0x' type indentifying
* Added more robust testing
* Less lint for the linting gods
* make vendor for bls12_381
* Added bls12-381 compression tests
* Added decompress key expected results
* Refactor of typed and untyped keys in tests
* Lint god appeasment
* Refactor of sample public keys
* Implemented bls12-381 decompression
* gofmt
* Renamed decode/encode funcs to be more descriptive
* Added binary bindings for key de/compression
* Refactor of func parameters
gomobile is a bit tempermental using raw bytes as a parameter, so I've decided to use string only inputs and outputs
* gofmt
* Added function documentation
* Moved multiformat de/compression into api/multiformat ns
* Moved multiformat de/compression into api/multiformat ns
* Changed compress to serialize on API
