An attempt to implement HIVE/STEEM node protocol in Rust

The inter-node communication protocol of HIVE/STEEM is encrypted. Now there's only a C++ implementation.

After look into the code, I found that:

• random secp256k1 pubkey is exchanged first
• secp256k1_ec_pubkey_tweak_mul is used to generate a shared key
• Google's city hash is used, but due to the endianness change, The Hive's is not the same as Google's original implementation

I attempted to implement the protocol ( at a very early stage ), wrote a small tool to parse hello_message.
