Would it be useful to have a 'panic button' that shuts down the node,
deletes the store, warns any connected peers that the node has panicked,
and (if there's time) inserts an ARK to warn disconnected peers? This is
to guard against an 'unravelling attack' where the attacker siezes one
node, identifies its peers, siezes them, etc.

Perhaps there should even be an option (disabled by default) to panic
automatically if a certain fraction of peers have panicked? Obviously
the threshold should be at least half, probably closer to three
quarters, to prevent malicious nodes from triggering a mass panic.

Cheers,
Michael
