banman: save the banlist in a JSON format on disk
Save the banlist in `banlist.json` instead of `banlist.dat`. This makes it possible to store Tor v3 entries in the banlist on disk (and any other addresses that cannot be serialized in addrv1 format). Only read `banlist.dat` if it exists and `banlist.json` does not exist (first start after an upgrade). Supersedes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20904 Resolves https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/19748
