Be less aggresive when churning established and known peers. Active peers are established peers and established peers are known peers. This means that when churning established peers and known peers we where churning too many peers.
This patch changes the churn behaviour so that we aim to only churn 20% of the established peers that are not also hot peers, and 20% of the known peers that are not also established peers.
This makes it possible to run the node with fewer established peers which reduces the overall number of connections in the network.
