findNode

Gather up to count nodes from our buckets closest (by XOR distance) to target. Port of std::vector<node_entry> routing_table::find_node(node_id const& target, find_nodes_flags_t options, int count).

It scans outward from target's home bucket toward higher-numbered buckets, then back toward bucket 0, sorting only the final over-full slice by compareRef to the target. With includeFailed = false (the default) only confirmed() nodes are returned.
