Make peer failover more efficient
Failover caused the entire request table to be scanned in search of entries with the transport process in question. With many entries (possibly as a result of the leak fixed in commit 6c9cbd96), this can lead to the service process hanging in ets:select_trap/1, with memory growth when many request processes write concurrently. Now write entries keyed on the transport pid, so that finding request processes at failover is a lookup rather than a select scanning the entire table. There is no upgrade handling in that new code doesn't consider that old code didn't write entries on the transport pid. Thus, a request whose table entries were written in old code will timeout rather than failover in new code. That is, there is a small window for failover to be missed (since request processes are short-lived), but it requires that it take place during the upgrade. As a minor aside, don't ignore failovers when sending binaries (which isn't officially supported), let prepare_retransmit callbacks deal with modifying the binary as required.
