Implement p2p network address manager #498

bitcoinj relies heavily on DNS seeds. For more decentralisation, we should 
replicate the Bitcoin Core CAddrMan system and store peers that were advertised 
via addr messages, then try to use them.

This may prove tricky because we don't want to compromise on startup time and 
the DNS crawlers keep track of how fresh/available peers are for us.

It's not ready to merge yet, but hopefully for 0.12
