transaction identity leakage during initial block download #2122

Description

@rebroad

During initial block download ResendWalletTransactions() runs, trying to send transactions which may have already been introduced into blocks. This therefore reveals two things about the node, one that it is not up to date with the blockchain, but also that those transactions originated from this node. This information could be used by people analysing the network to determine where the transactions came from.

Can/should the code be changed to provide the option not to send wallet transactions until the block chain is more up to date?
