nano_wallet v16

I can see quite a lot of peers use a rather old node version.

Suggestion: when 20% of the peers have a node version newer than yours, show it on the home window. Like

Version 13.0 (newer version is available)

(with a link to nano website ?) instead of

Version 13.0

It seems this is currently only possible comparing with the protocol version rather than the client version as only the agent's protocol version is exchanged during the handshake. In order for this to work with the client version, more user agent information would need to be exchanged.

@elliottminns You're right, here's the relevant issue: https://github.com/nanocurrency/raiblocks/issues/1120

Why a certain percentage instead of when a new version is released?

To make it decentralized, independent from a server. Just my 2 cents.

This will become easier after #2225 is complete.
