Matt Corallo 51ae7660b8 Use GetDesireableServiceFlags in static seeds, document this.
44407100f broke inserting entries into addrman from static seeds
(as well as dnsseeds which did not support service bits). Static
seeds were already being filtered by UA for 0.13.1+ (ie
NODE_WITNESS), so simply changing the default service bits to
include NODE_WITNESS (and updating docs appropriately) is
sufficient.

For DNS Seeds, we will later fix by falling back to oneshot if a
seed does not support filtering.

Seeds

Utility to generate the seeds.txt list that is compiled into the client (see src/chainparamsseeds.h and other utilities in contrib/seeds).

Be sure to update PATTERN_AGENT in makeseeds.py to include the current version, and remove old versions as necessary (at a minimum when GetDesireableServiceFlags changes its default return value, as those are the services which seeds are added to addrman with).

The seeds compiled into the release are created from sipa's DNS seed data, like this:

curl -s http://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt.gz | gzip -dc > seeds_main.txt
python3 makeseeds.py < seeds_main.txt > nodes_main.txt
python3 generate-seeds.py . > ../../src/chainparamsseeds.h

Dependencies

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python3-dnspython
