Merge #20284: addrman: ensure old versions don't parse peers.dat
38ada892ed0ed9aaa46b1791db12a371a3c0c419 addrman: ensure old versions don't parse peers.dat (Vasil Dimov) Pull request description: Even though the format of `peers.dat` was changed in a backwards incompatible way, it is not guaranteed that old versions will fail to parse it. There is a chance that old versions parse its contents as garbage and use it. Old versions expect the "key size" field to be 32 and fail the parsing if it is not. Thus, we put something other than 32 in it. This will make versions between 0.11.0 and 0.20.1 deterministically fail on the new format. Versions prior to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/5941 will still parse it as garbage. Also, introduce a way to increment the `peers.dat` format in a way that does not necessary make older versions refuse to read it.
