This patch adds channel scoring functionality to the ascending bootstrapper. It prioritises using the most responsive channels first, e.g. the channels with the lowest outstanding requests.
Since there is no guarantee requests will be responded to, the scores periodically "decay" when timeouts are calculated.
This scoring opens up future possibilities for additional metrics; an example would be tracking telemetry information and not requesting nodes that report low block counts.
Performance wise this looks to have ~2x improvement over randomly selecting channels as was done previously.
