refactor(netx): move construction logic outside package (#798)
For testability, replace most if-based construction logic with
calls to well-tested factories living in other packages.

While there, acknowledge that a bunch of types could now be private
and make them private, modifying the code to call the public
factories allowing to construct said types instead.

Directory github.com/ooni/probe-engine/experiment

This directory contains the implementation of all the supported experiments, one for each directory. The OONI spec repository contains a description of all the specified experiments.

Note that in the OONI spec repository experiments are called nettests. Originally, they were also called nettests here but that created confusion with nettests in ooni/probe-cli. Therefore, we now use the term experiment to indicate the implementation and the term nettest to indicate the user facing view of such implementation.

Note that some experiments implemented here are not part of the OONI specification. For example, the urlgetter experiment is not in the OONI spec repository. The reason why this happens is that urlgetter is an experiment "library" that other experiments use to implement their functionality.

Likewise, the example experiment is a minimal experiment that does nothing and you could use to bootstrap the implementation of a new experiment. Of course, this experiment is not part of the OONI specification.
