CConnman then passes the current best height into CNode at creation time.
This way CConnman/CNode have no dependency on main for height, and the signals
only move in one direction.
This also helps to prevent identity leakage a tiny bit. Before this change, an
attacker could theoretically make 2 connections on different interfaces. They
would connect fully on one, and only establish the initial connection on the
other. Once they receive a new block, they would relay it to your first
connection, and immediately commence the version handshake on the second. Since
the new block height is reflected immediately, they could attempt to learn
whether the two connections were correlated.
This is, of course, incredibly unlikely to work due to the small timings
involved and receipt from other senders. But it doesn't hurt to lock-in
nBestHeight at the time of connection, rather than letting the remote choose
the time.
This behavior seems to have been quite racy and broken.
Move nLocalHostNonce into CNode, and check received nonces against all
non-fully-connected nodes. If there's a match, assume we've connected
to ourself.

We should learn about new peers via address messages.
An inbound peer connecting to us tells us nothing about
its ability to accept incoming connections from us, so
we shouldn't assume that we can connect to it based on
this.
The vast majority of nodes on the network do not accept
incoming connections, adding them will only slow down
the process of making a successful connection in the
future.
Nodes which have configured themselves to not announce would prefer we
not violate their privacy by announcing them in GETADDR responses.
Tests if addresses are online or offline by briefly connecting to them. These short lived connections are referred to as feeler connections. Feeler connections are designed to increase the number of fresh online addresses in tried by selecting and connecting to addresses in new. One feeler connection is attempted on average once every two minutes.

bb66a11 Fix DoS vulnerability in mempool acceptance (Suhas Daftuar)
When processing a headers message that looks like a block announcement,
send peer a getheaders if the headers message won't connect.
Apply DoS points after too many consecutive unconnecting headers messages.
Moves the IsStandard check to happen after the premature-witness check,
so that adding a witness to a transaction can't prevent mempool acceptance.
Note that this doesn't address the broader category of potential mempool DoS
issues that affect transactions after segwit activation.
Changes in tinyformat, recently imported from upstream have made the
zero-argument versions of formatting functions unnecessary. Remove them.
This is a slight semantic change: `%` characters in the zero-argument
call are now regarded and need to be escaped. As for as I know, the only
use of this is in `main.cpp`.
