* Use map[string]struct{} for compression map in Len
map[string]int requires 8 bytes per entry to store the unused position
information.
* Add MsgLength benchmark with more RRs
* Pass dns.Compress explicitly to packBufferWithCompressionMap
* Avoid creating compression map for question only Msg
This idea was inspired by:
"Skip dname compression for replies with no answers."

* Continue compressing multiple questions
Use :0 for loopback testing. This is more portable between testing environments.
Add testRR that calls NewRR and throws error away - apply it everywhere where needed.
It seems only Go 1.9 can deal with :0 being used. Disable 1.8 in travis.
* Use crypto/rand to seed math/rand instead of using the default seed
* Better seeding+generation and fallback on crypto/rand.Read failure
* Remove user warning
Remove the use of reflection when packing and unpacking, instead
generate all the pack and unpack functions using msg_generate.
This will generate zmsg.go which in turn calls the helper functions from
msg_helper.go.
This increases the speed by about ~30% while cutting back on memory
usage. Not all RRs are using it, but that will be rectified in upcoming
PR.
Most of the speed increase is in the header/question section parsing.
These functions *are* not generated, but straight forward enough. The
implementation can be found in msg.go.
The new code has been fuzzed by go-fuzz, which turned up some issues.
All files that started with 'z', and not autogenerated were renamed,
i.e. zscan.go is now scan.go.
Reflection is still used, in subsequent PRs it will be removed entirely.
