normalocity/keyspace — Issue #90: The KeySetServer should re-check its peer list file periodically

The KeySetServer checks this file periodically (once every 5 minutes should be sufficient), and if the time stamp has changed on the file since the last time it checked, it re-reads the entire contents of the file. Assuming that there are no errors reading the file, then the in-memory list of peers is updated. If there is an error, then a log entry is made regarding the issue, and no changes are applied to the in-memory list.

This feature was stripped away from #50 because (a) it's not all that important, and (b) we can always add it later as a "nice to have" feature. Restarting the server to get the new peer list is fine for now.
