Merge #19191: net: Extract download permission from noban
fa0540cd46eaf44d9e1a9f91c3a937986826c4fa net: Extract download permission from noban (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
It should be possible to grant nodes in a local network (e.g. home, university, enterprise, ...) permission to download blocks even after the maxuploadtarget is hit.
Currently this is only possible by setting the `noban` permission, which has some adverse effects, especially if the peers can't be fully trusted.
Fix this by extracting a `download` permission from `noban`.
