connmgr: Implement inbound connection handling.
This modifies the connection manager to provide support for accepting
inbound connections on a caller-provided set of listeners and notify the
caller via a callback.

This is only the minimum work necessary to get inbound support into the
connection manager.  The intention for future commits is to move more
connection-related logic such as limiting the maximum number of overall
connections and banned peer tracking into the connection manager.

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
