Remove necessity to call create_callback_map (as well as the function
itself) from the Python P2P test framework. Invoke the appropriate
methods directly.
- Easy to forget to call it and wonder why it doesn't work
- Simplifies the code
- This makes it easier to handle new messages in subclasses

This replaces using inv messages to announce new blocks, when a peer requests
(via the new "sendheaders" message) that blocks be announced with headers
instead of inv's.
Since headers-first was introduced, peers send getheaders messages in response
to an inv, which requires generating a block locator that is large compared to
the size of the header being requested, and requires an extra round-trip before
a reorg can be relayed. Save time by tracking headers that a peer is likely to
know about, and send a headers chain that would connect to a peer's known
headers, unless the chain would be too big, in which case we revert to sending
an inv instead.
Based off of @sipa's commit to announce all blocks in a reorg via inv,
which has been squashed into this commit.
