Proposed new P2P command and response: getcmds, cmdlist



Summary:

The P2P protocol lacks an efficient way of enumerating minor features or extensions outside of major advertised network-wide nService bits. The version number increment is not self-documenting and coarse-grained. A pull request demonstrating a simple extension that lists supported commands has been added to solve this issue. Alternatively, the verack could return this information at login, eliminating the need for a separate command/response.
