Due to miners inserting garbage into the version numbers, the current
version signalling has become completely useless. This removes the
"unknown block versions" warning which has the tendency to scare
users unnecessarily (and might get them to "update" to something
bad).
It preserves the warning in the logs. Whether this is desirable can
be a point of discussion.

This removes the need to do so manually every time a connection is added.

Makes following changes to fix and tidy up p2p-versionbits-warning.py:
- add node alias in the run() method
- call versionbits_in_alert_file() in a wait_until loop.
- don't clear out the alert.txt file
- explicitly comment why the node needs to be stop-started
- Verify that the node is out of IBD after stop-start (nodes in IBD do
not generate alert messages)
- no need to subclass P2PInterface
