Check protocol version, on both connection sides, before parsing any packet
This fixes 2 issues: - Because neoctl connects to admin nodes without requesting identification, the protocol version was not checked, which could even be dangerous (think of a user asking for information, but the packet sent by neoctl could be decoded as a packet to alter data, like Truncate). - In case of mismatched protocol version, the error was not loggued on the node that initiated the connection. Compatibility is handled as follows: - For an old node receiving data from a new node, the 2 high order bytes of the packet id, which is always 0 for the first packet, is decoded as the packet code. Packet 0 has never existed, which results in PacketMalformedError. - For a new node receiving data from an old node, the id of the first packet, which is always 0, is decoded as the version, which results in a version mismatch error. This new protocol also guarantees that there's no conflict with SSL. For simplification, the packet length does not count the header anymore.
