02fbe3ae0bd91cbab2828cb7aa46f6493c82f026 net: add nLastBlockTime/TXTime to CNodeStats, CNode::copyStats (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
This PR adds inbound peer eviction criteria `nLastBlockTime` and `nLastTXTime` to `CNodeStats` and `CNode::copyStats`, which then allows exposing them in the next commit as `last_transaction` and `last_block` Unix Epoch Time fields in RPC `getpeerinfo`.
This may be useful for writing missing eviction tests. I'd also like to add `lasttx` and `lastblk` columns to the `-netinfo` dashboard as described in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19643#issuecomment-671093420.
Relevant discussion at the p2p irc meeting http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2020-08-11.html#l-549:
```text
<jonatack> i was specifically trying to observe and figure out how to test https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/19500
<jonatack> which made me realise that i didn't know what was going on with my peer conns in enough detail
<jonatack> i'm running bitcoin locally with nLastBlockTime and nLastTXTime added to getpeerinfo for my peer connections dashboard
<jonatack> sipa: is there a good reason why that (eviction criteria) data is not exposed through getpeerinfo currently?
<sipa> jonatack: nope; i suspect just nobody ever added it
<jonatack> sipa: thanks. will propose.
```
The last commit is optional, but I think it would be good to have logging in `rpc_net.py`.
