I tried to just do gossipd, but it was uncontainable, so this ended up being
a complete sweep.
We didn't get much space saving in gossipd, even though we should save
24 bytes per node.

Include it as an optional field in the connect_to_peer message (it was
added before we had optional fields).
The only issue is that reconnects want it too, so again connectd hands
it back to master in connectctl_connect_failed.

connectd tells master about every disconnection, and master knows
whether it's important to reconnect. Just get the master to invoke a new
connect command if it considers the peer important!
The only twist is timeouts: we don't want to immediately reconnect if
we've failed to connect. To solve this, connectd passes a 'delaytime'
to the master when a connection fails, and the master passes it back
when it asks for a connection.

We used to separate implicit connection requests (ie. timed retries
for important peers) and explicit ones, and send a
WIRE_CONNECTCTL_CONNECT_TO_PEER_RESULT for the latter.
In the success case, that's now redundant, since we hand the connected
peer to the master using WIRE_CONNECT_PEER_CONNECTED; we just need a
message for the failure case. And we might as well tell the master
every failure, so we don't have to distinguish internally.
This also solves a race we had before: connectd would send
WIRE_CONNECTCTL_CONNECT_TO_PEER_RESULT which completes the incoming
JSON connect command, then send WIRE_CONNECT_PEER_CONNECTED. So
there's a window where the JSON command can return, but the peer isn't
known to lightningd yet.

This patch guts gossipd of all peer-related functionality, and hands
all the peer-related requests to channeld instead.
gossipd now gets the final announcable addresses in its init msg, since
it doesn't handle socket binding any more.
lightningd now actually starts connectd, and activates it. The init
messages for both gossipd and connectd still contain redundant fields
which need cleaning up.
There are shims to handle the fact that connectd's wire messages are
still (mostly) gossipd messages.

connectd has a dedicated fd to gossipd, so it can ask for a new gossip_fd
for a peer.
gossipd has a standalone routine to create a remote peer (this will
eventually be the only way gossipd creates a new peer).
For now lightningd creates a socketpair but doesn't run connectd, so
gossipd never sees any requests on this fd.

1. Lifetime of 'struct reaching' now only while we're actively doing connect.
2. Always free after a single attempt: if it's an important peer, retry
on a timer.
3. Have a single response message to master, rather than relying on
peer_connected on success and other msgs on failure.
4. If we are actively connecting and we get another command for the same
id, just increment the counter
The result is much simpler in the master daemon, and much nicer for
reconnection: if they say to connect they get an immediate response,
rather than waiting for 10 retries. Even if it's an important peer,
it fires off another reconnect attempt, unless it's actively
connecting now.
This removes exponential backoff: that's restored in next patch. It
also doesn't handle multiple addresses for a single peer.
