The seeker starts by asking a peer (the first peer!) for all gossip
since a minute before the modified time of the gossip store.
This algorithm is enhanced in successive patches.

Since we have to validate, there can be a delay (and peer might
vanish) between receiving the gossip and actually confirming it, hence
the use of softref.
We will use this information to check that the peers are making progress
as we start asking them for specific information.

The only real change is dump_gossip() used to call
maybe_create_next_scid_reply(), but now I've simply renamed
that to maybe_send_query_responses() and we call it directly.

The first one means we don't discard channels just because we're not
synced, and the second is implied by the spec: don't accept
channel_announcement if the channel isn't 6 deep. Since LND defers in
such cases, we do too (unless it's newer than the current block, in
which case we simply discard). Otherwise there's a risk that a slow
node might discard valid gossip.

This will let gossipd be more intelligent about gossiping before we're
synced, and also it might know how far behind we are.

It's generally clearer to have simple hardcoded numbers with an
#if DEVELOPER around it, than apparent variables which aren't, really.
Interestingly, our pruning test was always kinda broken: we have to pass
two cycles, since l2 will refresh the channel once to avoid pruning.
Do the more obvious thing, and cut the network in half and check that
l1 and l3 time out.
