This change adds adds an ability to use different source of time for whisper:
when envelope is created it is used to set expiry
to track when envelope needs to be expired
This time is then used to check validity of the envelope when it is received. Currently If we receive an envelope that is sent from future - peer will get disconnected. If envelope that was received has an expiry less then now it will be simply dropped, if expiry is less than now + 10*2 seconds peer will get dropped.
So, it is clear that whisper depends on time. And any time we get a skew with peers that is > 20s reliability will be grealy reduced.
In this change another source of time for whisper will be used. This time source will use ntp servers from pool.ntp.org to compute offset. When whisper queries time - this offset will be added/substracted from current time.
Query is executed every 2 mins, queries 5 different servers, cut offs min and max and the computes mean value. pool.ntp.org is resolved to different servers and according to documentation you will rarely hit the same.
Closes: #687
Every peer must be subscribed to the topic that is used to send messages.
In the test Alice was communicating with Bob and Charlie over custom topic, but
that topic wasn't added to a bloom filter, thus a certain flake was possible.
Normally it wasn't causing problems because syncAllowance in whisper, which is 10s:
- we set bloom filter to all zeros
- but we still will accept all envelopes for 10s
- in case we send first envelope into such channel after sync allowance - we will get an error such
that envelope doesn't match the bloom filter

- [x] [#797] : Remove unused methods PopulateStaticPeers, ReconnectStaticPeers, removeStaticPeers, removePeer
- [x] [#797] : Rename node.Manager to node. StatusNode and simplify its public api
- [x] [#797] : Rename all references to nodeManager to statusNode
I am not 100% percent sure what is happening but it seems that
newMessageFilter is async operation, result of this operation is assumed
to be used in callbacks. All other tests are doing at least 1 io operation
in between creating a filter and posting a message, and it must be enough
for newMessageFilter to complete.
Setting higher GOMAXPROCS allows Otto vm to execute received io requests
immediatly. While lower number of processes may result in events re-ordering.

I tested this change with GOMAXPROCS=1 and it passes consistently.

The main goal of this change is to remove async operations from node manager.
Additionally all of the signals from node manager are moved to status backend.
All of the async operation now will have the following behaviour:
- If node in the correct state exit immediatly without error
- If node not in the correct state exit immediatly with error
- In all other cases spawn a goroutine with wanted operation
- All the progress regarding that operation will be reported
by using signals
- Signals should be handled in once place, which is StatusBackend
There are 2 potentially breaking changes:
- Empty event field will be ommited when Envelope is sent to a client
- All errors will be delivered to a client as an Envelope, previously
some errors (NodeExists, NoRunningNode) were delivered synchronously
