more realistic host connectability check

Ava Howell requested to merge connectability-node-check into master

This PR adds a more realistic host connectability checking algorithm. Instead of simply attempting to dial itself and setting its status based on the success or failure of that Dial, this PR adds a new rpc CheckHost. threadedTrackConnectabilityStatus selects at random two outbound peers and asks them to check the host's netaddress, using CheckHost. If both peers agree on the host's ConnectabilityStatus, the host will set its ConnectabilityStatus accordingly.
