seeder

seeder main features:

1. Receive queries from clients and returns a list of available nodes.

2. Receive “hello” message from other clients which want to introduce themselves to the Seeder. The seeder will add such clients to the peer list.

3. Frequently ping existing nodes in the database to update their information (e.g. check whether they are alive, which clients they are using).

4. Support queries like: which nodes are alive during the last 1 hours, 2 hours, 1 day.
