Fixes the issue whereby notifications weren't sent as long as new blocks
kept coming in. Now a new height notification, with an appropriate mempool
update, is sent after each batch of blocks is processed.
Add support for daemons that don't have the new 'getblock' RPC call that
returns the block in hex, the workaround is to manually recreate the block
bytes. The recreated block bytes may not be the exact ones as in the
underlying blockchain but it is good enough for our indexing purposes.
$SERVER_VER will return the version number (eg: 1.0.10)
$SERVER_SUBVERSION will return the full version string (eg: ElectrumX 1.0.10)
$VERSION is kept for legacy which is the same as $SERVER_SUBVERSION

Set FORCE_PROXY to non-empty to force peer discovery to go
through the proxy. See docs/ENVIRONMENT.rst
Wait for an attempt at proxy discovery to be made before beginning
peer discovery.
Have a background proxy detection loop; removes need to check
specific peers at startup.
Consider proxy down once attempts to use it fail 3 times in a row.
Regularly attempt to rediscover a proxy if it is down.
Change last_connect to mean last connection as its name implies,
not last connection that wasn't bad.
Keep bad peers around for 3 tries.
