Merge #19954: Complete the BIP155 implementation and upgrade to TORv3
dcf0cb477699d11afd0ff37c8bfb2b1b4f7f1ee5 tor: make a TORv3 hidden service instead of TORv2 (Vasil Dimov) 353a3fdaad055eea42a0baf7326bdd591f541170 net: advertise support for ADDRv2 via new message (Vasil Dimov) 201a4596d92d640d5eb7e76cc8d959228fa09dbb net: CAddress & CAddrMan: (un)serialize as ADDRv2 (Vasil Dimov) 1d3ec2a1fda7446323786a52da1fd109c01aa6fb Support bypassing range check in ReadCompactSize (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: This PR contains the two remaining commits from #19031 to complete the [BIP155](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0155.mediawiki) implementation: `net: CAddress & CAddrMan: (un)serialize as ADDRv2` `net: advertise support for ADDRv2 via new message` plus one more commit: `tor: make a TORv3 hidden service instead of TORv2` ACKs for top commit: jonatack: re-ACK dcf0cb477699d11afd0ff37c8bfb2b1b4f7f1ee5 per `git diff 9b56a68 dcf0cb4` only change since last review is an update to the release notes which partially picked up the suggested text. Running a node on this branch and addnode-ing to 6 other Tor v3 nodes, I see "addrv2" and "sendaddrv2" messages in getpeerinfo in both the "bytesrecv_per_msg" and "bytessent_per_msg" JSON objects. sipa: ACK dcf0cb477699d11afd0ff37c8bfb2b1b4f7f1ee5 hebasto: re-ACK dcf0cb477699d11afd0ff37c8bfb2b1b4f7f1ee5, the node works flawlessly in all of the modes: Tor-only, clearnet-only, mixed. laanwj: Edit: I have to retract this ACK for now, I'm having some problems with this PR on a FreeBSD node. It drops all outgoing connections with this dcf0cb477699d11afd0ff37c8bfb2b1b4f7f1ee5 merged on master (12a1c3ad1a43634d2a98717e49e3f02c4acea2fe). ariard: Code Review ACK dcf0cb4 Tree-SHA512: 28d4d0d817b8664d2f4b18c0e0f31579b2f0f2d23310ed213f1f436a4242afea14dfbf99e07e15889bc5c5c71ad50056797e9307ff8a90e96704f588a6171308

+- The Tor onion service that is automatically created by setting the
