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.
