Prune nodes more rapidly when there are many

David Vorick requested to merge gateway-fix into master

The gateway was having a problem with a large node list, where many of the nodes on that list were unconnectable, but the pruning was not happening fast enough to keep the node list reasonably useful. Now, the gateway will prune nodes at a more rapid rate when there are a lot of nodes.

This is an incomplete fix, we also need to extend the dial bit to do the full handshake, merely seeing that a node is online is not enough if that node is not running a recent version.

This PR needs two additional things, first it needs an extension of the g.dial bit in the purge loop to verify that the other node is in fact a node running Sia, and on a recent enough version. Secondly, it needs testing.
