Description

This PR makes some changes to the default Neutrino config for embedded nodes.

First, mainnet nodes are limited to known BTCD instances. BTCD seems to handle broadcasting fee bumping better as the mempool size is uncapped by default and generally plays nicer with LND as it is also written in Go.

Our new BTCD instance btcd2.lnolymp.us has been added along with node.eldamar.icu. Bitcoin Core instances node.lnolymp.us and node.blixtwallet.com have been removed (at least for the time being). btcd.lnolymp.us has taken the new hostname btcd1.lnolymp.us.

Secondly, the Neutrino setting dontAllowOtherPeers has been set to true by default. This will ensure that Zeus doesn't connect to any Bitcoin Core peers that may cause problems.
