Merge #19954: Complete the BIP155 implementation and upgrade to TORv3

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
