removed all print() calls from network.py
Updated CHANGELOG.md. We (another word for 'me') can push after moving
naxalnet.service out of service/. I am told the unit file is having a
rather dull time coping with per lonely life.

# Hacking
Everyone can [hack][] naxalnet. See below for how to hack.
## Questions and answers
Join the XMPP channel <xmpp:naxalnet@chat.disroot.org> to talk about
anything related to this program or about mesh networks in general.
## Reporting issues and suggesting ideas
To report a bug or suggest an idea, create a new issue at
<https://git.disroot.org/pranav/naxalnet/issues>
While reporting a bug, you can add the debug messages to provide more
data. Run `journalctl -fu naxalnet` on a terminal emulator (this could
take some time on some machines). Now on another one, type `sudo systemctl start naxalnet.service` or whatever caused the error. Now copy the error
messages and paste it in the issue body along with the description.
## Improving documentation
The README and HACKING.md needs to be more beginner friendly. See #20.
## Contribute code
To push to this repo, you need your username to be in the contributors
list. Add your username to issue #8 to add you as a contributor. Before
each commit, update the CHANGELOG.md and `__version__` in
`naxalnet/__init__.py`
## Packaging
Currently this program is only packaged for Arch Linux. naxalnet needs
packages in GNU+Linux+systemd distributions such as Debian, Fedora,
openSUSE, and nixos. If you know/like to package it in your distro, post a
message to issue #6.
