Allow peerstore to write to a go-datastore

[csasarak]

I am working with @whyrusleeping to allow peerstore data to be stored to the hard disk when it takes up a certain amount of space as described in go-ipfs issue #2484

I'm opening this issue to discuss adding support for the go-datastore interface.

wonder if we should reuse the record abstraction here @diasdavid? Basically
peerstore, providers, and so on all storing records and internally they can
be given a recordstore implementation backed by a go-datastore to store to
disk. Would seriously simplify the abstraction creep in all the modules.
(I.e. Only one module would know why a datastore is a thing).

I think @diasdavid already does something like this, or has suggested it in
the past.

do we need to sign the peer info objects? storing them as records would mean that, which might be a good thing and also, would write them to disk with some validity property.

I'm gonna take a go at this! There already seems to be some work done on the go-libp2p-peerstore project, though it seems quite stale. If I don't hear anything about reviving that change, I'll probably start fresh (taking ideas/inspiration from that PR) tomorrow.

Edit: Tagging @csasarak!

This exists now.
