Opening a lot of connections results in getting this information a whole lot of times, so let's add an opt-in flag for the initial dump.

BOLT #9: Assigned Feature Flags
This document tracks the assignment of localfeatures and globalfeatures flags in the init message (BOLT #1), as well as the features field in the channel_announcement message and node_announcement message (BOLT #7).
They are tracked separately since new flags will likely be added over time.
The features flags in the routing messages are a subset of the globalfeatures flags, since the localfeatures are by definition only of interest to direct peers.
Assigned localfeatures flags
These flags may only be used in the init message, and are generally assigned in pairs.
Flags begin at bit 0 (ie. 0x1), and odd-numbered flags (eg. 0x2) are optional.
