For a HD wallet, instead of checking the first 10 addrs + 10 additional random ones,
we now check the first 10 addrs + 10 random used addrs + 10 random unused addrs.
Checking unused addresses is useful to prevent getting money sent there,
and checking used addresses is useful to inform people of already lost money.
with the Qt gui, the python process saturates one of my CPU cores to 100%.
This is because main_window.timer_actions() calls request_list.refresh_all()
every 0.5 seconds, which iterates over all unpaid payreqs, and does a
scriptpubkey->address->scriptpubkey conversion.
Trace of the hot path:

These commits drastically reduce the CPU utilisation.
In particular, window.timer_actions() calls
request_list.refresh_all() and invoice_list.refresh_all(),
every 0.5 seconds.
We avoid doing this at least when those lists are not visible anyway.
In order to avoid repeatedly calling get_addr_from_output_script() on
every read of the "TxOutput.address" property, determine and cache it
only whenever the output script is created/changed.
I was calling methods from the Qt console (e.g. peer.pay()) and seeing weird behaviour...
htlc_switch() (running on asyncio thread) was racing with pay() (running on GUI thread).
