This map will contain the (internal) IPs corresponding to specific Nodes.
The mapping is also stored in the system.peers table.
So, instead of always connecting to external IP messaging_service::get_rpc_client()
will query _preferred_ip_cache and only if there is no entry for a given
Node will connect to the external IP.
We will call for init_local_preferred_ip_cache() at the end of system table init.

New in v2:
- Improved the _preferred_ip_cache description.
- Code styling issues.
New in v3:
- Make get_internal_ip() public.
- get_rpc_client(): return a get_preferred_ip() usage dropped
in v2 by mistake during rebase.
