This adds the option to report an remote IP address back to a connecting
peer using the `init` message. A node can decide to use that information
to discover a potential update to its public IPv4 address (NAT) and use
that for a `node_announcement` update message containing the new address.
The proposal includes reporting the IPv4 and IPv6 address,
however in IPv6 there are likely no NAT issues. TOR is skipped for
obvious reasons.
Certain approaches to check and use this information are thinkable:
- Wait for multiple peers or a certain fraction to report the
same new address.
- Check some random node known via gossip to also report the new
address.
- Verify this information by making a test connection to itself.
