The previous use of allowSelfConns prevented this, as users aren't able
to invoke peer.TstAllowSelfConns themselves due to being part of a test
file, which aren't exported at the library level, leading to a
"disconnecting peer connected to self" error upon establishing a mock
connection between two peers. By including the option at the config
level instead (false by default, prevents connections to self) we enable
users of the peer library to properly test the behavior of the peer.Peer
struct externally.
This modifies the UpdateLastBlockHeight function to ensure the new
height is after the existing height before updating it in order to
prevent it from going backwards so it properly matches the intent of the
function which is to report the latest known block height for the peer.
Without this change, the value will properly start out at the latest
known block height reported by the peer during version negotiation,
however, it will be set to lower values when syncing from the peer due
to requesting old blocks and blindly updating the height.
It also adds a test to ensure proper functionality.
This is a backport of https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/1747
It was possible for connections to bitcoind nodes to be closed from
their side if the OnVersion callback queued a message to send. This is
because bitcoind expects a verack message before attempting to process
any other messages. To address this, we ensure the verack is sent as
part of the handshake process, such that any queued messages happen
after the fact.
This modifies the peer code which deals with advertising service flags
via the net address fields of the version message as follows:
- For outgoing connections:
- Set the local netaddress services to what the local peer supports
- Set the remote netaddress services to 0 to indicate no services as
they are still unknown
- For incoming connections:
- Set the local netaddress services to what the local peer supports
- Set the remote netaddress services to the what was advertised by the
remote peer in its version message
This modifies the OnVersion callback to allow a reject message to be
returned in which case the message will be sent to the peer and the peer
will be disconnected.

This modifies the negotiation logic to ensure the callback has the
opportunity to see the message before the peer is disconnected and
improves the error handling when reading the remote version message.
It also has the side effect of ensuring the protocol version is
negotiated before sending reject messages with the exception of the
first message not being a version message since negotiation is not
possible in that case.
This is being changed because it is useful for the server to see the
message regardless in order to have the opportunity to things such as
update the address manager and reject peers that don't have desired
services.

This rearranges some of the function definitions that pertain to initial
peer version negotiation and bringup so they are more consistent with
the preferred order used throughout the codebase. In particular, the
functions are defined before they're first used and generally as close
as possible to the first use when they're defined in the same file.
There are no functional changes.

In this commit, we patch a goroutine leak within the peer struct. This
goroutine leak can happen, if the remote side fails to actually finish
negotiation the protocol before our timeout ticker ticks. In this case,
the goroutine will be blocked on a send, as the channel is unfired. An
example trace from a btcd node I had on testnet showed:
```
3183 @ 0x42e78a 0x42e83e 0x40540b 0x4051a5 0x872f76 0x45bfc1
```
So, all instances of the goroutine failing to exit due to the remote
peer not finishing the p2p version negotiation handshake.
Our fix is simple: make the `negotiateErr' channel unbuffered. With this
simple change, we ensure that the goroutine will always exit even in the
case that the parent goroutine exists due to a timeout. # Please enter

The cfilter BIP specifies that the filter type is a uint8. The
current code encodes it correctly on the wire, but everywhere else,
it's treated as a boolean (false for basic filter, true for
extended). This commit corrects that to account for possible
additional filter types in the future. All package changes are
done in one commit as they're all interdependent. The following
packages are updated:
* blockchain/indexers
* btcjson
* peer
* wire
* main (server.go and rpcserver.go)
This commit modifies the base peer struct to ascertain when a peer is
able to understand the new witness encoding, and specify the peer’s
supported encoding explicitly before/after the version handshake.
