d33ebd3629 seeker: probe for node announcements.
We pick some nodes which don't seem to have node_announcements and we
ask a channel associated with them.  Again, if this reveals more
node_announcements, we probe for twice as many next time.

ba3c79e560 seeker: seek unknown scids.
If we have any unknown short_channel_ids, we ask a random peer for
those channels.  Once it responds, we probe again for a small random
range in case more are missing, again enlarging if we find some.

4b13c92802 seeker: use hash table for unknown short_channel_ids.
Instead of a linear array which is fairly inefficient if it turns out
we know nothing at all.

We remove the gossip_missing() call by changing the api to
remove_unknown_scid() to include a flag as to whether the scid turned
out to be real or not.

83575f27a1 seeker: add code to check range of scids.
Once we've finished streaming gossip from the first peer, we ask a
random peer (maybe the same one) for all short_channel_ids in the last
6 blocks from the latest channel we know about.

If this reveals new channels we didn't know about, we expand the probe
by a factor of 2 each time.
