Test for node connectivity

[jmjatlanta]

This test was built to test the p2p portion of node connectivity. I hope it to be of use for some tests.

This breaks out some of the graphene::app functionality to more easily get a test going that needs 2 nodes talking to each other.

In what way does this relate to the p2p_node_tests you added in #887 ?

This PR is about creating a market and building some market history. #887 (and now #1764) add some access to the node to watch messages go through for address requests. Both contort node to get the information they need. They will no doubt cause conflicts, but I am unsure when (or if) they will get merged.

I think you're confusing this with #1661. Otherwise you should rethink your commit messages. :-)

Is it obvious that I do not multitask well? That is the personal task list for improvement. Who knows what I was thinking when I wrote the above.

This ticket breaks things out into an "application_runner" for easier testing of 2 nodes. It has a lot in common with #1764 .

I will examine the two in order to see if anything in this ticket is worth salvaging.

#1764 is believed to be near complete. Once that rolls, only a small piece of this branch is salvageable. I will close this ticket, but keep the branch around until I can redo it to only keep the good parts (big block and big transaction tests).
