derp: remove a client round-trip waiting on serverInfo

It just has a version number in it and it's not really needed.
Instead just return it as a normal Recv message type for those
that care (currently only tests).

Updates #150 (in that it shares the same goal: initial DERP latency)
Updates #199 (in that it removes some DERP versioning)
