* Reshuffle package location of P2P messages Previously the companion objects for P2P messages and the actual messages were in different pacakges. This made them more awkward to use than necessary. We also clean up some Scaladocs in this commit. * Move all P2P messages to core |

Philosphy of testkit
The high level of of the bitcoin-s testkit is to mimic provide functionality to test 3rd party applications.
There are other examples of these in the Scala ecosystem like the akka-testkit and slick-testkit.
We use this testkit to test bitcoin-s it self. For instance, our BitcoindRpcClient is tested with the functionality provided in the testkit. A quick example of a useful utility method is BitcoindRpcTestUtil.startedBitcoindRpcClient(). This spins up a bitcoind regtest instance on machine and generates 101 blocks on that node. This gives you the abililty to start spending money immediately with that bitcoind node.
We have similar utility methods for eclair.
Property based testing
There is also a robust set of generators available in the org.bitcoins.testkit.gen package. This allows you to integrate property based testing into your library and feel confident about implementing your application specific logic correctly.
You can see examples of us using these generators inside of testkit in our Private Key test cases
