Currently the p2p Manager is locked while a connection attempt is performed.
This causes the node to become unsync if connecting to a peer takes longer, or the peer is offline.
If a new milestone is validated, an event is triggered that sends new heartbeat messages to all connected peers.
If the p2p Manager is locked by the connection attempt, also the milestone verification is blocked by this.
This PR changes the logic of the p2p Manager in a way that connection attempts are done in an async way.
