Check Geth sync status via HTTP JSON RPC

Hmmm, actually, upon closer inspection, this only flags whether Geth is in the initial syncing phase. If you shut down a running node and start it up again this method will immediately return false i.e. I'm not syncing. Although it's definitely also not caught up with the head of the chain.
