Shy client patch from Hal Finney: "On incoming connections, it won't send a version message until it receives one. This can help make port scanning identification harder."

Deployed clients behave just fine-- they just wait for the connecting node to send a version message first, instead of both ends sending a version message right away.
I'm going to run this (along with several other patches) on the Faucet machines, then plan on pulling it.
