Subject: p2p/discover: don't attempt to replace nodes that are being replaced

PR #1621 changed Table locking so the mutex is not held while a
contested node is being pinged. If multiple nodes ping the local node
during this time window, multiple ping packets will be sent to the
contested node. The changes in this commit prevent multiple packets by
tracking whether the node is being replaced.
