Commit c80c8e7 was supposed to mimic Bitcoin Core commit 1d21ba2f5ecbf03086d0b65c4c4c80a39a94c2ee in order to implement the suggested Countermeasure 6 in Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network, Ethan Heilman, Alison Kendler, Aviv Zohar, Sharon Goldberg. ePrint Archive Report 2015/263. March 2015. However, erroneously the triedBucketSize was increased instead of the triedBucketCount. This commit fixes this error in order to properly mimic the Bitcoin Core commit referenced above. This change in isolation is problematic, because after applying it old peers.json files will still load, but with many empty new tried buckets and potentially overfull old tried buckets. See issue decred#1131 for discussion.
