This new method allows outside callers to sample the current state of
the gossipSyncer in a concurrent-safe manner. In order to achieve this,
we now only modify the g.state variable atomically.
In this commit, introduce a new struct, the gossipSyncer. The role of
this struct is to encapsulate the state machine required to implement
the new gossip query range feature recently added to the spec. With this
change, each peer that knows of this new feature will have a new
goroutine that will be managed by the gossiper.
Once created and started, the gossipSyncer will start to progress
through each possible state, finally ending at the chansSynced stage. In
this stage, it has synchronized state with the remote peer, and is
simply awaiting any new messages from the gossiper to send directly to
the peer. Each message will only be sent if the remote peer actually has
a set update horizon, and the message isn't before or after that
horizon.
A set of unit tests has been added to ensure that two state machines
properly terminate and synchronize channel state.
