I was wondering why TAGS was missing some functions, and finally
tracked it down: PRINTF_FMT() confuses etags if it's at the start
of a function, and it ignores the rest of the file.
So we put PRINTF_FMT at the end, but that doesn't work for
*definitions*, only *declarations*. So we remove it from definitions
and add gratuitous declarations in the few static places.1

Asking for the last few blocks was logical, but my node is missing
most gossip in practice.
For the moment, simply ask a peer for every channel it knows, once
we're started up.

When probing, no point probing for before lightning became cool. Current
logic means we often probe below block 500,000, and think things are OK
because there are no short_channel_ids.

We always ended up sending an empty query when we had stale scids!
And it turns out we consider such a query invalid:

We only chose 3 peers to gossip with us (down from 8 last release).
There's no justification for this number, or reason to believe that
it is sufficient to keep us in sync.
Be more conservative for now; we can always decrease it later once
we have more data.

polling the last 32 is fairly useless in practice, since they tend to
be recent nodes; it won't detect long-forgotten ones.

I thought LND had a bug, but turns out it doesn't like out-of-order
short_channel_ids: in fact, the spec says they have to be in order!
This means we use uintmap instead of a htable for unknown_scids and
stale_scids so they're nicely ordered.
But our nodes-missing-announcements probe is harder since they can
also contain duplicates: we switch that to iterate through channels
rather than nodes.

We weren't supposed to do any gossiping until we were synced (and thus
knew blockheight), but our seeker_check() didn't wait for it! Move the
waiting all into seeker.c, so it can handle it all consistently.

On testing, I found a node which would hang up every time we asked it
for query_short_channel_ids (despite it offering features 0x81, meaning
it should handle this message).
Then it would reconnect, and we'd choose it again as our
PROBING_NANNOUNCES peer!
Instead, leave finding another peer to the once-a-minute
seeker_check() function.

By combining set_state() with selected_peer() we can give a single log
line describing what we're asking for, from whom.
We also add more verbosity to a few key areas, such as gossip rotation
and when gossipd tells a peer to send an error. And move a comment which
was above the wrong function (due to rebase?).

It usually means we're missing something, but there's no way to ask what.
Simply start a broad scid probe.

This should give more reliable results, though it risks us getting
suckered into always consulting the same peer.

We assume that the time for gossip propagation is < 10 minutes, so by
going back that far from last gossip we won't miss anything,

It's simple: if we wouldn't accept the timestamp we see, don't put
the channel in the stale_scid_map.

Just try to choose another. Under Travis, this causes many failures due
to slowness (they only get 10 seconds in -dev mode).

We eliminate the "need peer" states and instead check if the
random_peer_softref has been cleared.
We can also unify our restart handlers for all these cases; even the
probe_scids case, by giving gossip credit for the scids as they come
in (at a discount, since scids are 8 bytes vs the ~200 bytes for
normal gossip messages).

Build up a map of short_channel_ids which we have old info for (only
if peer supports gossip_query_ex).

This asks peers to append the timestamps or checksums: if it has
gossip_query_ex support, it will, otherwise it's ignored.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
If the peer supports `gossip_query_ex` we can use query_flags to simply
request the node_announcements when probing for nodes, rather than
getting everything. If a peer doesn't support `gossip_query_ex` then
it's harmless to add it.

We pick some nodes which don't seem to have node_announcements and we
ask a channel associated with them. Again, if this reveals more
node_announcements, we probe for twice as many next time.

If we have any unknown short_channel_ids, we ask a random peer for
those channels. Once it responds, we probe again for a small random
range in case more are missing, again enlarging if we find some.

Instead of a linear array which is fairly inefficient if it turns out
we know nothing at all.
We remove the gossip_missing() call by changing the api to
remove_unknown_scid() to include a flag as to whether the scid turned
out to be real or not.

Once we've finished streaming gossip from the first peer, we ask a
random peer (maybe the same one) for all short_channel_ids in the last
6 blocks from the latest channel we know about.
If this reveals new channels we didn't know about, we expand the probe
by a factor of 2 each time.

The seeker starts by asking a peer (the first peer!) for all gossip
since a minute before the modified time of the gossip store.
This algorithm is enhanced in successive patches.
