Saturated network is inert #17

When the majority of the network has all neighbours occupied, no new node can connect. There should be some mechanism to drop nodes when you're above the minimum.

Is there a way of dropping old neighbours in a way that the network is still time-independent?

Solved by implementing pruning in 9c1e1c04f9b57bda62ece2567b2430077a1e0a05, which leads to dropping unnecessary connections.
