net: CAddress & CAddrMan: (un)serialize as ADDRv2
Change the serialization of `CAddrMan` to serialize its addresses in ADDRv2/BIP155 format by default. Introduce a new `CAddrMan` format version (3). Add support for ADDRv2 format in `CAddress` (un)serialization. Co-authored-by: Carl Dong <contact@carldong.me>

when macOS "dark mode" is activated.
+The node's known peers are persisted to disk in a file called `peers.dat`. The
+format of this file has been changed in a backwards-incompatible way in order to
+accommodate the storage of Tor v3 and other BIP155 addresses. This means that if
+the file is modified by 0.21.0 or newer then older versions will not be able to
+read it. Those old versions, in the event of a downgrade, will log an error
+message that deserialization has failed and will continue normal operation
+as if the file was missing, creating a new empty one. (#19954)
