API select random tips and do not walk #230

Closed dnck closed 8 months ago

This is a port from the older helix-1.0 package into pendulum to stop the random walking. Tips are selected with the new tipselector.getTwoRandomTips() method.

The issue of picking tips for approval turns out to be more subtle -- as picking up tips at random will cause the growing number of orphaned txs if at least one tip is orphaned for some reason (e.g. due to a double-spend)
