William Carroll 9098920f0a feat(wpcarro/scratch): create a proof-of-concept blockchain server

In the spirit of learning by doing, I decided to implement a simple blockchain
server. More work remains, but I'm tired after working on this for ~2-3h. I'd
like to reimplement this from memory using a statically typed language like
Haskell. I'd also like to implement node
discovery (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Client_Node_Discovery) because
that is still something I don't quite understand. But I'm signing-off for
now...

Scratch

The purpose of the scratch directory is to host practice exercises. Practice encompasses things like working on data structures and algorithms problems for upcoming coding interviews or general aptitude as well as writing code snippets to help me learn a new programming language or understand an unfamiliar concept.
