Gossip autoconnection could result in two nodes attempting to connect to each other concurrently. To fix this issue, only one node initiate the connection now. The selection criteria is arbitrary but deterministic, currently the greater zid of both.

This is a more complex problem than what it seems. Consider the following:
- Node1 is a peer, it is setup to autoconnect to routers and peers.
- Node2 is a router, it is setup to autoconnect only to routers.
- Node2 has a higher ZID, and therefore is the one returned by
select_autoconnect_node.
In thise case, Node1 will not attempt to connect because it is not the selected node, and Node2 will not autoconnect because it does not have peers in its autoconnect config, and the connection will never be established...

Unless we add autoconnect config to the exchanged gossip information, the other solutions may involve closing one of the two links during or after opening the transport.
