Merge bitcoin-core/gui#18: Add peertablesortproxy module

5a4a15d qt, refactor: Drop no longer used PeerTableModel::getRowByNodeId func (Hennadii Stepanov)
9a9f180 qt, refactor: Drop no longer used PeerTableModel::sort function (Hennadii Stepanov)
778a64a qt: Use PeerTableSortProxy for sorting peer table (Hennadii Stepanov)
df2d165 qt: Add peertablesortproxy module (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  The "Peers" table in the "Node" window does not hold multiple selection after sorting.

  This PR introduces a `QSortFilterProxyModel` subclass, that is a standard Qt [practice](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/model-view-programming.html#custom-sorting-models) for such cases.

  Now the sorting code is encapsulated into the dedicated Qt class, and we do not need to maintain it.

  Fixes #283 (additionally).

  On **master** (7ae86b3):
  - rows are sorted by "Ping", and a selection is made

  - rows are sorted by "NodeId", and the previous selection is _lost_
