This means gossipd is live and we can tell it things, but it won't
receive incoming connections. The split also means that the main daemon
continues (eg. loading peers from db) while gossipd is loading from the store,
potentially speeding startup.

Currently we intuit it from the fd being closed, but that may happen out
of order with when the master thinks it's dead.
So now if the gossip fd closes we just ignore it, and we'll get a
notification from the master when the peer is disconnected.
The notification is slightly ugly in that we have to disable it for
a channel when we manually hand the channel back to gossipd.
Note: as stands, this is racy with reconnects. See the next patch.

(This was sitting in my gossip-enchancement patch queue, but it simplifies
this set too, so I moved it here).
In 94711969f we added an explicit gossip_index so when gossipd gets
peers back from other daemons, it knows what gossip it has sent (since
gossipd can send gossip after the other daemon is already complete).
This solution is insufficient for the more general case where gossipd
wants to send other messages reliably, so replace it with the other
solution: have gossipd drain the "gossip fd" which the daemon returns.
This turns out to be quite simple, and is probably how I should have
done it originally :(

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.

And on channel_fail_permanent and closing (the two places we drop to
chain), we tell gossipd it's no longer important.

These don't have a maximum number of reconnect attempts, and ensure
that we try to reconnect when the peer dies.

We're about to remove automatic retrying of connect, and that uncovered
that we actually print out our "Server started" message before we create
the listening socket.
Move the init higher (outside the db transaction) and make it a
request/response, the loop until it's done.

If we only remember the actions that added channels then we'd restore them when
re-reading the gossip_store, so put a tombstone in there to remember to delete
it. These will be cleared upon re-writing the store since the announcements wont
be written anymore.

Since we may want to extend the on-disk format by adding custom information we
may as well just go the extra mile and reuse the serialization primitives we
already have.

As we add more features, the current code is insufficient.
1. Keep an array of single feature bits, for easy switching on and off.
2. Create feature_offered() which checks for both compulsory and optional
variants.
3. Invert requires_unsupported_features() and unsupported_features()
which tend to be double-negative, all_supported_features() and
features_supported().
4. Move single feature definition from wire/peer_wire.h to common/features.h.

I leave all the now-unnecessary accessors in place to avoid churn, but
the use of bitfields has been more pain than help.

We always hand in "NULL" (which means use tal_len on the msg), except
for two places which do that manually for no good reason.

These are now logically arrays of pointers. This is much more natural,
and gets rid of the horrible utxo array converters.

We move it into jsonrpc where it belongs, and make it fail the command.
This means it can tell us exactly what was wrong.
