Properly deduplicate connections.

By assigning a random connection ID during the initial hello that's both 
unique to every new connection regardless of target and consistent 
across both the connection initiator and acceptor, we can do string 
comparison to determine which string is greater than the other. In doing 
so, we can ensur  the same connection is always terminated, thereby 
avoiding closing both connections by accident.
