This commit adds the ability for callers to remove pending connections via a call to the Remove() method. With this change, upstream users of this package can use the connmgr for more elaborate connectivity needs as they can now cancel pending connections that are no longer needed. |

connmgr
Package connmgr implements a generic Bitcoin network connection manager.
Overview
Connection Manager handles all the general connection concerns such as maintaining a set number of outbound connections, sourcing peers, banning, limiting max connections, tor lookup, etc.
The package provides a generic connection manager which is able to accept connection requests from a source or a set of given addresses, dial them and notify the caller on connections. The main intended use is to initialize a pool of active connections and maintain them to remain connected to the P2P network.
In addition the connection manager provides the following utilities:
- Notifications on connections or disconnections
- Handle failures and retry new addresses from the source
- Connect only to specified addresses
- Permanent connections with increasing backoff retry timers
- Disconnect or Remove an established connection
