//! Outbound connections session. Manages the creation of outbound sessions.
//! Used to create an outbound session and to stop and start the session.
//!
//! Class consists of a weak pointer to the p2p interface and a vector of
//! outbound connection slots. Using a weak pointer to p2p allows us to
//! avoid circular dependencies. The vector of slots is wrapped in a mutex
//! lock. This is switched on every time we instantiate a connection slot
//! and insures that no other part of the program uses the slots at the
//! same time.
