+ File transfer protos written by Liam Cottle <liam@liamcottle.com>
+ - sender should send an OfferFileTransfer to other user
+ - recipient should send back an AcceptFileTransfer or RejectFileTransfer
+ - recipient can tell the sender how big each file part can be when accepting the file transfer
+ - sender should send the first file part to the recipient when receiving an AcceptFileTransfer
+ - recipient should then send RequestFileParts until all remaining parts are received
+ - sender should send a FilePart for each index in partIndexes when a RequestFileParts is received
+ - recipient should send CompletedFileTransfer when all parts are received
+ - sender and recipient can send CancelFileTransfer to tell the other side they are no longer interested in the file
+ - todo: add fileHash or fileCrc in OfferFileTransfer to allow recipient to confirm assembled parts are not corrupted
