Support for the Anomos p2p Protocol #234

From my understanding while Tox is based on P2p it still has the same vulnerabilities as torrent traffic and the issue of ip disclosure to peers. If we are to be completely serious about this, i think we need to integrate tox with anomos.

Quick runthrough:

Anomos is a pseudonymous, encrypted multi-peer-to-peer file distribution protocol. It is based on the peer/tracker concept of BitTorrent in combination with an onion routing anonymization layer, with the added benefit of end-to-end encryption. By combining these technologies, we have created a platform where by no party outside of the trusted tracker will have any information about who a peer is or what they are downloading.

Is that project still active? Nobody's made a commit in ~3 years.

It looks cool, however, it adds one more layer of complexity and copying a design from an immature project is not going to end well.
