This PR reimplements the light client server pool. It is also a first step
to move certain logic into a new lespay package. This package will contain
the implementation of the lespay token sale functions, the token buying and
selling logic and other components related to peer selection/prioritization
and service quality evaluation. Over the long term this package will be
reusable for incentivizing future protocols.
Since the LES peer logic is now based on enode.Iterator, it can now use
DNS-based fallback discovery to find servers.
This document describes the function of the new components:

* les: move the checkpoint oracle into its own package
It's first step of refactor LES package. LES package
basically can be divided into LES client and LES server.
However both sides will use checkpoint package for
status retrieval and verification. So this PR moves
checkpoint oracle into a separate package
* les: address comments
