Description

SeedProvider is plugable, however only one implementation exists.

Changes:

• Create a SeedProvider that reads properties from System properties or env
• Provide a SeedProvider that scans ranges of IP addresses to find peers.
• Refactor interface to abstract class because all seed providers must provide a constructor that accepts Map<String,String>
• correct error messages
• Do not catch Exception use MultiCatch and catch typed exceptions
