This commit adds basic syncing capabilities with peers if they are both
online.
It updates the work done on MVDS, but I decided to create the code in
status-go instead, since it's very tight to the application (similarly
the code that was the inspiration for mvds, bramble, is all tight
together at the database level).
I reused parts of the protobufs.
The flow is:
1) An OFFER message is sent periodically with a bunch of message-ids and
group-ids.
2) Anyone can REQUEST some of those messages if not present in their
database.
3) The peer will then send over those messages.
It's disabled by default, but I am planning to add a way to set up the
flags.
This commit updates geth to 1.8.17 and adds a possibility to enable metrics during compilation time.
The cascade of issues forced us to upgrade geth to 1.8.17 in order to allow enabling metrics during compilation time. 1.8.17 introduced `NodeID` refactoring and `enode` package which affected our peers pool and integration with Discovery V5.

* jail: VM persistence implemented
* jail: sendMessage/showSuggestions minor fixes (to be squashed)
