feat(users/Profpatsch/netencode): fully streaming parser r/2382
In order to arbitrarily split netencode over multiple reads, we need
to make the parser completely streaming, so that it recognizes all
cases where it needs more input.

Luckily, this is fairly trivial, after working around a bunch of
overeager parsing.

The tricky part was the giant `alt`, where inner parsers would start
consuming input and thus become incomplete when they fail afterwards.
Sinc the format *always* starts the different types with one
discriminator char, we can use that to instantly return the parser and
try the next one instead.

The other tricky part was that lists and records would parse all inner
elements and then choke on the empty string after the last element,
because the inner parser would consume at least the descriminator, and
an empty string is always `Incomplete`. We wrap these into a small
combinator which plays nice with `many0` in that regard.
