silenteh 72a472700b Addressed issue #1 - Byte order was the problem
The counter needs to be represented in bigendian format.
Unfortunately with commit #00045cb I made the unfortunate choice to swap the endiannes from big-endian to little-endian.
This broke the functionality for certain counters.

- [x] Added Go vendoring
- [x] Bumped version of golang in travis yml file
- [x] Removed conversion files and instead used import of convert sec51 external library

### Build status

### CryptoEngine package
This simplifies even further the usage of the NaCl crypto primitives,
by taking care of the `nonce` part.
It uses a KDF, specifically HKDF to compute the nonces.
### Big Picture
The encryption and decryption phases are the following:
```
Message -> Encrypt -> EncryptedMessage -> ToBytes() -> < = NETWORK = > <- FromBytes() -> EncryptedMessage -> Decrypt -> Message
```
### Usage
1- Import the library
```
import github.com/sec51/cryptoengine
```
2- Instanciate the `CryptoEngine` object via:
```
engine, err := cryptoengine.InitCryptoEngine("Sec51")
if err != nil {
return err
}
```
See the godoc for more info about the InitCryptoEngine parameter
3- Encrypt a message using symmetric encryption
```
message := "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
engine.NewMessage(message)
if err != nil {
return err
}
```
4- Serialize the message to a byte slice, so that it can be safely sent to the network
```
messageBytes, err := tcp.ToBytes()
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
```
5- Parse the byte slice back to a message
```
message, err := MessageFromBytes(messageBytes)
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
```
