TomZ 301a4ca3ee Fix properly following the chain-tip
This is done in several steps:

1. Separate my height from the remote peer heights.
Instead of assuming we have one height, recognize that a peer may
not be at the tip at the same time we are. We monitor headers/invs
to update the 'peerHeight' variable.

2. Ask for merkle blocks from a peer to the maximum height of that
peer (but not later than what we validated to be true).
This avoids us asking past the remotes tip which they didn't like.

3. Redo the SyncSPVAction to use all this and make it much more
reliable in finding peers to download from and getting all the
changes as fast as possible.

TomZ 25ffc84f80 Introduce new lib p2p
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.
