WHOAREYOU sequence number #114

If the handshake recipient does not know any ENR of the initiator, what sequence number should they include in the WHOAREYOU packet? I would assume 0, but this creates a problem if 0 is used as sequence number for new ENRs. I guess the simplest solution is to just start with 1 and perhaps that's the intention, but I couldn't find this being mentioned anywhere.

Yes, they should send zero in this case.
