Not only for performance reasons (which is significant in the case of
replication; tools/matrix is ~3% faster) but also because of several ugly
things in the way packets were defined:
- packet field names, which are only documentary; for roots fields,
  they even just duplicate the packet names
- a lot of repetitions for packet names, and even confusion between the name
  of the packet definition and the name of the actual notify/request packet
- the need to implement field types for anything, like PByte to support new
  compression formats, since PBoolean is not enough

neo/lib/protocol.py is now much smaller.
