In this commit, we modify the way we write wire messages across the
entire database. We'll now ensure that we always write wire messages
with a length prefix. We update the `codec.go` file to always write a 2
byte length prefix, this affects the way we write the `CommitDiff` and
`LogUpdates` struct to disk, and the network results bucket in the
switch as it includes a wire message.
