I commented out a few new lines at the bottom of test/functional/p2p_ibd_txrelay.py
It tests that nodes process certain transactions, after IBD. These new assertions
from upstream are failing, but it may be because our IBD / tx sharing logic is different.
We should revisit this.
We comment out a newly-added assert from the Bitcoin
side, because it's unclear how to replicate it
correctly in Elements.

When receiving unwanted headers from a peer, first check whether we have
recent "best known block" state for that peer. If not, accept one batch
of headers to refresh it. Otherwise, we can become stuck in a state where
we need blocks, but we don't know which peers have those blocks available.
This especially happens during startup, when we don't have this information
for any peers until we start processing header messages.

fa1dc9b36a p2p: Always serialize local timestamp for version msg (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently we serialize the local time when connecting to outbound connections and the "adjusted network" time when someone connects to us.
I presume the reason is to avoid a fingerprint in case the local time is misconfigured. However, the fingerprint still exits when:
* The local time goes out-of-sync after timedata is filled up, in which case the adjusted time is *not* adjusted. See comment in `src/timedata.cpp`. (In practise I expect no adjustment to happen after timedata is filled up by one entry more than half its size).
* The local time is off by more than 70 minutes. See `DEFAULT_MAX_TIME_ADJUSTMENT`. While there is a warning in this case, the warning might be missed by the node operator.
* The adjusted time is poisoned by an attacker. This is only a theoretical concern after commit e457513eb1.
Using the adjusted time does help in a the case where the local time is off by a constant less than 70 minutes and the node quickly connects to 5 outbound peers to retrieve the adjusted time.
Still, I think using `GetAdjustedTime` here gives a false sense of security. It will be better for node operators to instead set the correct time.

The helper was moved in commit b026e318c3,
which also mentioned that it could be moved to CChainState. So do that,
as the functionality is not block-storage related.
This also allows to drop one function argument.

eaf6be0114 [net processing] Do not request transaction relay from feeler connections (John Newbery)
0220b834b1 [test] Add testing for outbound feeler connections (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Feelers are short-lived connections used to test the viability of peers. The bitcoind node will periodically open feeler connections to addresses in its addrman, wait for a `version` message from the peer, and then close the connection.
Currently, we set `fRelay` to `1` in the `version` message for feeler connections, indicating that we want the peer to relay transactions to us. However, we close the connection immediately on receipt of the `version` message, and so never process any incoming transaction announcements. This PR changes that behaviour to instead set `fRelay` to `0` indicating that we do not wish to receive transaction announcements from the peer.
This PR also extends the `addconnection` RPC to allow creating outbound feeler connections from the node to the test framework, and a test to verify that the node sets `fRelay` to `0` in the `version` message to feeler connections.
