Thane Thomson 7b162f5c54 node: refactor node.NewNode (#3456)
The node.NewNode method is pretty complex at the moment, an in order to address issues like #3156, we need to simplify the interface for partial node instantiation. In some places, we don't need to build up a full node (like in the node.TestCreateProposalBlock test), but the complexity of such partial instantiation needs to be reduced.

This PR aims to eventually make this easier/simpler.

full node (like in the `node.TestCreateProposalBlock` test), but the
complexity of such partial instantiation needs to be reduced.
