relay first, holepunch later #177

Currently the swarm doesn't greedily use relays and then switch over to the holepunched connection. I don't know if that's the behavior we want but if it is, then this is my attempt to rectify that.

Given that hyperdht currently STOPS holepunching if a LAN connection is relayed, this could drastically increase the load on the relays unless that behavior is also fixed.

punting this as part of the major "don't treat the LAN differently" future change.
