connmgr: Refactor connection management into pkg This commit introduces package connmgr which contains connection management related functionality. The following is an overview of the features the package provides: - Maintain fixed number of outbound connections - Optional connect-only mode - Retry persistent connections with increasing back-off - Source peers from DNS seeds - Use Tor to resolve DNS - Dynamic ban scores - Test coverage In addition, btcd has been refactored to make use of the new package by extending the connection manager to work with the server to source and maintain peer connections. The following is a broad overview of the changes to integrate the package: - Simplify peer state by removing pending, retry peers - Refactor to remove retries which are now handled by connmgr - Use callback to add addresses sourced from the DNS seed Finally the following connection-related things have been improved as a part of this refactor: - Fixes 100% cpu usage when network is down (#129) - Fixes issues with max peers (#577) - Simplify outbound peer connections management 2016-05-12 11:06:07 +02:00			`// Copyright (c) 2016 The btcsuite developers`
