Error information is carried from RPC server to client in the string
'Error' field of rpc.Response. An empty string is sent in the success
case. This empty string was being returned to the caller (of Client.Call
or Client.Go), resulting in a non-nil error response.
This change detects an empty-string Response.Error at the client, and
translates it into a nil value in Call.Error.
Tests updated to check error return in success cases.

added ReadFrom/WriteTo for packet protocols like UDP.
simplified the net.Conn interface.
added new net.PacketConn interface for packet protocols.
implemented proper UDP listener.
cleaned up LocalAddr/RemoteAddr methods - cache in netFD.
threw away various unused methods.
an interface change:
introduced net.Addr as a network address interface,
to avoid conversion of UDP host:port to string and
back for every ReadFrom/WriteTo sequence.
another interface change:
since signature of Listener.Accept was changing anyway,
dropped the middle return value, because it is available
as c.RemoteAddr(). (the Accept signature predates the
existence of that method.)
Dial and Listen still accept strings, but the proto-specific
versions DialTCP, ListenUDP, etc. take net.Addr instead.
because the generic Dial didn't change and because
no one calls Accept directly (only indirectly via the http
server), very little code will be affected by these interface
changes.
design comments welcome.

server side only; no client help yet (but it's easy).
no http yet.
service is synchronous.
all this will improve.
