Forming a Ring: ETH v64 Wire Protocol Ring

@yperbasis Let’s keep it in a separate thread but make sure that the two works complement each other. For example, we may not want to have reqId solely live on the new sync message instead of all ETH messages. We have to figure out what makes sense there.

See https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/129#issuecomment-536700238 . We would like to release 64 as a minor change to 63, whereby a forkid is used in the place of genesis hash for handshake.
I personally don’t think it matter if all the cool stuff you’ve been discussing above comes in eth65 instead. Anyone disagree? We would like to move forward with @karalabe’s forkid idea
