Improve the tests of the local testnet (#953)

* Improve the tests of the local testnet

The local testnet test was rather flaky and would occasionally
fail. It has been made more robust by adding the ENRs directly
to the routing table instead of doing some random lookups.

Additionally, the amount of nodes were increased (=64), ip limits
configuration was added, and the bits-per-hop value was set to 1
in order to make the lookups more likely to hit the network
instead of only the local routing table.

Failure is obviously still possible to happen when sufficient
packets get lost. If this turns out to be the case with the current
amount of nodes, we might have to revise the testing strategy here.

* Disable lookup test for State network

Disable lookup test for State network due to issue with custom
distance function causing the lookup to not always converging
towards the target.
