This means we intercept the peer's gossip_timestamp_filter request
in the per-peer subdaemon itself. The rest of the semantics are fairly
simple however.

(We don't increment the gossip_store version, since there are only a
few commits since the last time we did this).
This lets the reader simply filter messages; this is especially nice since
the channel_announcement timestamp is *derived*, not in the actual message.
This also creates a 'struct gossip_hdr' which makes the code a bit
clearer.

Keeping the uintmap ordering all the broadcastable messages is expensive:
130MB for the million-channels project. But now we delete obsolete entries
from the store, we can have the per-peer daemons simply read that sequentially
and stream the gossip itself.
This is the most primitive version, where all gossip is streamed;
successive patches will bring back proper handling of timestamp filtering
and initial_routing_sync.
We add a gossip_state field to track what's happening with our gossip
streaming: it's initialized in gossipd, and currently always set, but
once we handle timestamps the per-peer daemon may do it when the first
filter is sent.

We use the high bit of the length field: this way we can still check
that the checksums are valid on deleted fields.
Once this is done, serially reading the gossip_store file will result
in a complete, ordered, minimal gossip broadcast. Also, the horrible
corner case where we might try to delete things from the store during
load time is completely gone: we only load non-deleted things.
