Tidy up bootstrapping (#235)

* Remove signal bootstrapping

Remove IpfsDHT.BootstrapOnSignal.

* Type check expected interfaces on IpfsDHT

* Simplify the bootstrap logic

* Tidy up a few other things

* Include BootstrapOnce

* Add comment about duplicating sanity checks

* Use existing import naming convention

* Defer error wrapping until we need it

* Restore existing query count behaviour
