Neil Booth e8db8983ec Make the synchronizer not a thread.
The synchronizer's work is done from the network proxy's main loop.

A minor problem with the old synchronizer was that it considered itself
out of date if the network was out of date.  This was too generic: the
network can have pending requests unrelated to the synchronizer.  This
resulted in the synchronizer often unnecessarily flipping the wallet
between up-to-date and not-up-to-date, and causing unnecessary calls
to wallet.save_transactions().  This was observable when opening the
network dialog box: frequently just opening it would cause a wallet
status change and transaction flush, simply because the network dialog
sends a get_parameters() request.  This rework of the synchronizer does
not have that issue.
