1. client/authority-discovery: Add option to disable querying …

   The authority discovery module (1) publishes a nodes address onto the
   DHT and (2) queryies the DHT for the addresses of other authorities.
   
   When a node is only allowed to connect to the configured reserved nodes
   there is no benefit in discovering other authorities (2). To reduce the
   unnecessary overhead this patch adds an option to disable (2) while
   still running (1).
   
   In the scenario above where a node can only connect to a small subset of
   the nodes (reserved nodes) of the DHT the publishing of addresses (1) is
   likely failing as the node can not place its addresses on the node
   closest to its chain identity. For now the node will still try to
   publish its addresses, hoping that (a) one of its reserved nodes is
   close enough to accept the record and (b) the reserved node will
   republish the record to other nodes.
