Michael Schubert e8f9bc11e7 extras/dialer: move dialer.go to sub directory
`extras/dialer` contains both a dialer script and dialer.go, the go
sources for the dialer server and client, to allow users to build the
dialer container themselves. Move dialer.go to a sub directory `src`
since `make clean` (running `go clean ./...`) deletes the dialer script
otherwise.

## Overview
The dialer scripts can be used to test Scope with a high number of
containers and connections.
The dialer server is a TCP server that holds incoming connections
forever.
The dialer client is a TCP client that opens n connection to a server
and holds them forever.
The `listener` script starts a dialer server and prints its address for
usage with the `dialer` script. The `dialer` scripts starts up to n
(default 50) client containers, each opening a random (1-20) number of
connections.
`time-scope-probe` then can be used to measure the scheduled time
(utime + stime) of the scope-probe process on the host. The results
can be used to compare performance under different scenarios/branches.
## Usage example
```
# Start a listener
./tools/dialer/listener
Listening on :8082
IP addr + port: 172.17.0.2:8082
# Start the dialer script with a maximum of 10 dialer containers
# (default 50)
./tools/dialer/dialer 172.17.0.2:8082 10
# Start time-scope-probe to measure the scheduled time of scope-probe
# every 3 seconds (default 10 seconds) for 3 times (default 60 times)
sudo ./tools/dialer/time-scope-probe 3 3
...
```
## Build dialer container
```
go build -o bin/dialer src/dialer.go
docker build -t dialer .
```
