This change reduces fingerprinting via timestamps in addr messages.
Previously, the last seen time for an address was updated when
certain protocol commands were received. Now, the last seen time
is set when the peer disconnects if the peer had sent a verack
message and was connected for more than 20 minutes.
This mimics Bitcoin Core commit:
9c2737901b5203f267d21d728019d64b46f1d9f3
Also, add additional sanity checking before updating the peer's
timestamp. These include:
- Do not mark a peer as connected if we never received
a version message.
- Disconnect a peer for sending a verack before btcd
sent a version
- Disconnect a peer for sending multiple verack's

As pointed out in #189, according to the Go documentation, a ticker must
be stopped to release associated resources. This commit adds a defer call
to stop two tickers there were previously not being stopped as well as
changes two others that were being stopped over to use defer so it's more
consistent.
The other ticker in ScheduleShutdown is replaced and already calls Stop
before replacing it, so it has not been modified.
Closes#189.
ok @jrick
These changes are a joint effort between myself and @dajohi.
- Separate IP address range/network code into its own file
- Group all of the RFC range declarations together
- Introduces a new unexported function to simplify the range declarations
- Add comments for all exported functions
- Use consistent variable casing in refactored code
- Add initial doc.go package overview
- Bump serialize interval to 10 minutes
- Correct GroupKey to perform as intended
- Make AddLocalAddress return error instead of just a debug message
- Add tests for AddLocalAddress
- Add tests for GroupKey
- Add tests for GetBestLocalAddress
- Use time.Time to improve readability
- Make address manager code golint clean
- Misc cleanup
- Add test coverage reporting
This commit does just enough to move the address manager into its own
package. Since it was not originally written as a package, it will
require a bit of refactoring and cleanup to turn it into a robust
package with a friendly API.
