Added find max bandwidth feature. #96
Conversation
the flag to use it is -findMax and specify a server address, it will run multiple 3 seconds tests to find the maximum bandwidth.

Don't build the string to then again parse it, set the BwtestParameters directly.

Use named return values
`bwtestclient`: - `receiveDone` is a channel now - Refactored code to reduce duplication and make it easier to read - Changed some error logging messages `bwtestlib`: - `HandleDCConnReceive` takes a channel as a parameter instead of Lock, and signals it when it is done

Just making everything global variables is really ugly. Most of these can and should be converted to appropriately scoped local variable without much effort.

To avoid the global variables: this can take client and server addresses as parameters and return the two connection objects (and an error code).
…lags with find max bandwidth option - Reduced global variables to 2 variables, all others are scoped local variables. - initConns function takes client and server addresses as input (along with pathAlgo and interactive for choosing the paths while setting up the addresses), and returns the connections and an error. - find max bandwidth option can be used with the 'cs' and/or the 'sc' flags to set the duration, packet sizes, and starting bandwidth for the test. If the flags are not set, default values are used

Done.
Only two global variables are there now.

Usage: add the flag
-findMaxand specify a server address with-s, it will run multiple 3 seconds bandwidth tests until it finds the maximum bandwidth.Testing:
Using another AS inside a docker container running the server, and limit the bandwidth on that AS's interface using a tool. I use tcconfig for that, tc the traffic control.
Measure the bandwidth to a remote AS, the attachment points for example, and the returned bandwidth should roughly correspond to the ratio of upload:download speed available for the machine you're running the tests from.
