It is not immediately obvious that the trigger can be used even when backlog population is disabled and that it is used for manual triggering mainly.
Introduce the class nano::backlog_population::config to hold the configuration items and not need access to nano::nodeconfig.

This PR adds a new rpc command for populating backlog. Populating backlog is a process in the node that scans all accounts , checks for unconfirmed blocks in that account's chain and queues those blocks for confirmation via election scheduler. I found this command to be very useful when setting up local test networks, as by default backlog population is done in 5 minute intervals which is too slow. It is no doubt that a better way for scheduling the backlog population would be a better long term solution, but I think a manual way to trigger that is nevertheless very useful.
