This moves the tracking of the last announced block hash from the peer package to the net sync manager as it really is an implementation detail that nothing outside of the network sync manager needs as evidenced by the fact that nothing else accesses it. |

netsync
Package netsync implements a concurrency safe block syncing protocol.
Overview
The provided implementation of SyncManager communicates with connected peers to perform an initial block download, keep the chain in sync, and announce new blocks connected to the chain. Currently the sync manager selects a single sync peer that it downloads all blocks from until it is up to date with the longest chain the sync peer is aware of.
