Matt Corallo 49e1c1cba9 Drop ping sending rate-limit suggestion 
There's not a lot of reason to explicitly rate-limit ping messages
on the sending side, hosts on the internet can *always* send you
as much traffic as they want, its up to you whether you want to
talk back to them.

This seems to have been intended as a cutoff where nodes can skip
responding to pings below a certain rate, but in practice 30
seconds is much too long a time to learn that your peer has
disconnected.

We could reduce the threshold, but its not like this is the only
place in the spec where a peer can request a message response, and
that is unlikely to change, making it of highly dubious value.
