@whitslack complained of large CPU usage by connectd at startup;
I ran perf record on connectd on my machine (which sees a little spike, only)
and I see the cost of reading and discarding the entries:
```
- 95.52% 5.24% lightning_conne lightning_connectd [.] gossip_store_next
- 90.28% gossip_store_next
+ 40.27% tal_alloc_arr_
+ 22.78% tal_free
+ 11.74% crc32c
+ 9.32% fromwire_peektype
+ 4.10% __libc_pread64 (inlined)
1.70% be32_to_cpu
```
Much of this is caused by the search for our own gossip: keeping this separately
would be even better, but this fix is minimal.
