BIP155: use a dedicated message for signalling
Change signaling of support for the new `addrv2` messages to be done via
a dedicated message `sendaddrv2` instead of protocol bump.
The drawback of using a protocol bump is that the protocol version is
not a bitmask and if a node wants to announce support for `addrv2` this
would imply support for all prior features included in that protocol
version.
