Great! I made several suggestions, and I have a question for everyone: 
what should we do if we have a "new" addr (say, for the v2 msgr protocol) 
and we need to encode it for a client that doesn't have the ADDR2 feature?
Right now we are still stuffing the sockaddr_storage in their with 
whatever sockaddr data we have, but it is indistinguishable from a legacy 
address.  Perhaps it sould encode as blank?  (e.g., entity_addr_t())? Or 
blank, except with a magic nonce (0xffffffff maybe) so that you can tell 
that it is non-blank but not terribly useful/usable?
