To send out transactions in the p2p net is quite a lot of work,
you need to find multiple peers to send the transaction to. First
you send an INV, then you respond to a getData to actually send
the transaction and last you wait for 'reject' messages that may
indicate that there is something wrong with the transaction.
This introduces the BroadcastTxData class that wraps a transaction
and gets callbacks for sending and for rejects, abstracting away
all the complexity for the user.
The NetworkManager usage was mostly for low connection counts and this
made defaults selection easy.
With more usages it is important to allow the NWM-connection to be more
configurable about memory usage and leaner in general.
This changes the headers-buffers (used to create envelopes) to not be per
connection anymore but per thread using the tread_local keyword.
This changes the ring-buffers to become configurable using
NetworkConnections::setMessageQueueSizes().
Also removing some include statements where they were not really needed
in the P2PNet lib.
We reuse the NetworkManager lower level code in order to connect
to the Bitcoin P2P network.
This implements the basics for anyone wanting to be a player on
this network.
