This last part add the initial asmap data, implements the build changes and adds further documentation. Currently an asmap file needs to be acquired by there user from some location or the user needs to generate one themselves. Then they need to move the file to the right place in datadir or pass the path to the file as `-asmap=PATH` in order to use the asmap feature. The change here allows for builds to embed asmap data into the bitcoind binary which makes it possible to use the feature without handling of the asmap file by the user. If the user starts bitcoind with `-asmap` the embedded data will be used for bucketing of nodes. The data lives in the repository at `src/node/data/ip_asn.dat` and can be replaced with a new version at any time. The idea is that the data should be updated with every release. By default the data at that location is embedded into the binary but there is also a build option to prevent this (`-DWITH_EMBEDDED_ASMAP=OFF`). In this case the original behavior of the `-asmap` option is maintained.
