Merge #19958: doc: Better document features of feelers
2ea62cae483b764e30f61c06d8ac65755bbd864c Improve docs about feeler connections (Gleb Naumenko)
Pull request description:
"feeler" and "test-before-evict" are two different strategies suggest in [Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity15/sec15-paper-heilman.pdf). In our codebase, we use `ConnType::FEELER` to implement both.
It is confusing, up to the point that our documentation was just incorrect.
This PR:
- ~clarifies this aspect by renaming "ConnType::FEELER" to "ConnType::PROBE", meaning that this connections only probes that the node is operational, and then disconnects.~
- fixes the documentation
