Change Description

Previously, Neutrino could be enabled via the neutrino build tag, which affected all LND nodes involved in an itest and required using a btcd miner as the source of compact block headers. This PR introduces a more flexible setup: it is now possible to run some LND nodes with a regular bitcoind backend, while others use Neutrino with bitcoind's P2P interface as the source of compact block headers. This allows testing more complex scenarios where some nodes have a local bitcoind instance, while others rely on Neutrino for lightweight syncing.

Steps to Test

make itest

The change is fully backwards compatible, and all existing itests should continue to pass.

Enable this in bitcoind mode as well to be able to let a subset of LND nodes
to use neutrino with bitcoind backend.
Use an additional -bind flag instead of -port to specify the default p2p port.

Flag -port sets the default port number that will be used for any -bind or
-whitebind that does not explicitly specify a port. So if we have the p2p
port set in -port and the tor p2p port set in a single -bind, bitcoind binds
only one port - the tor p2p port. And the default p2p port remained not bound!
It is useful if we want to keep bitcoind main itest mode, but connect one node
using neutrino.
