Make sure sentry nodes are treated as reserved nodes from peer set (i.e. we try to maintain connections to sentry nodes);
Treat sentry and reserved nodes preferably in GRANDPA gossip validator (i.e. never restrict sending any vote data to them);
The approach in this PR is just a hacky solution quickly done to figure out if this would fix the issue. We want to expose the information about a peer being a reserved/sentry node to GRANDPA gossip validator in a more generic way, so that this can also be used by other protocols (will also be useful in Polkadot).
