[Clam-devel] Removing BlockingNetworkPlayer?

[Pau Arumí]

Natanael, 
take this task if you feel like. It's very straightforwards but will
give you the occasion to intimate (more) with the
NetworkPlayer-Network-FlowControl code. 
The NetworkPlayer::IsCallbackBased() should also be removed and adapt
the code that uses it.
