The node stops the channel when a peer requests a block or transaction that it cannot serve. bitcoind replies notfound and stays connected. Implements #986.

The node now replies and resumes the send loop at four sites: a hash that resolves to no header, a pruned block, a block that cannot be read from the archive, and an absent transaction. Each reply is sent from the send completion handler, as a block is, so nothing is produced until the prior write completes.

The hash that resolves to no header is tested first, because the checkpoint height query faults the store on a terminal link. Such a hash is ordinary peer input, so the query is no longer reached with one.

protocol_block_out_106 is attached without a version condition, so its peer may be below bip37, where not_found is undefined. It captures the negotiated level at construction and retains the existing stop below that level. protocol_transaction_out_106 is attached only above bip37, so the level is asserted there.

A request is already bounded by max_inventory at deserialization, so no additional limit is imposed.

Four cases cover the block sites, including a peer below bip37. The transaction site awaits a fixture that negotiates relay.

The correct implementation is more invasive than implemented, as required by the design. Each versioned/negotiated protocol level implies a class to encapsulate the behavior, even if the behavior is optional at that level. This keeps protocol semantics isolated. The vtable cost is negligible, while the organizational advantage is significant. Otherwise we would end up with a perpetually-growing list of conditions on a single protocol class.

const bool node_witness_;

Other configurable optional p2p protocol features:

[peer]
enable_alert = false                # send/log alert messages (no send option)
enable_reject = false               # send/log reject messages
enable_address = true               # in/out address messages
enable_address_v2 = false           # in/out address v2 messages
enable_witness_tx = false           # in/out wtxid for tx announcements
enable_compact = false              # in/out compact block announcements
enable_relay = false                # in/out transaction announcements
enable_privacy = true               # opportunistic encryption (bip324)

If this is to be an option (as opposed to version-based), which it should be, then it must be routed through config and parse.

node_witness_(session->node_settings().provide_witness),
allow_overlapped_(session->node_settings().allow_overlapped),
not_found_allowed_(negotiated_version() >=
network::messages::peer::not_found::version_minimum),

This is not consistent with protocol versioning design. See existing patterns for adding features at distinct protocol levels. This requires protocol class derivation at the protocol level in which the feature is activated, and then attachment of the derived protocol in the case where it is active.

Don't add ad-hoc inline fixtures, there is a dedicated text cpp/hpp for this (and established pattern in server).

// This protocol is also attached below bip130, and when headers-first is

// This tx could not have been advertised to the peer.
stop(system::error::not_found);
// The protocol is attached above bip37, where not_found is defined.
