Recognizing addresses from those networks allows us to accept and gossip
them, even though we don't know how to connect to them (yet).

102867c587 net: change CNetAddr::ip to have flexible size (Vasil Dimov)
1ea57ad674 net: don't accept non-left-contiguous netmasks (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
(chopped off from #19031 to ease review)
Before this change `CNetAddr::ip` was a fixed-size array of 16 bytes,
not being able to store larger addresses (e.g. TORv3) and encoded
smaller ones as 16-byte IPv6 addresses.
Change its type to `prevector`, so that it can hold larger addresses and
do not disguise non-IPv6 addresses as IPv6. So the IPv4 address
`1.2.3.4` is now encoded as `01020304` instead of
`00000000000000000000FFFF01020304`.
Rename `CNetAddr::ip` to `CNetAddr::m_addr` because it is not an "IP" or
"IP address" (TOR addresses are not IP addresses).
In order to preserve backward compatibility with serialization (where
e.g. `1.2.3.4` is serialized as `00000000000000000000FFFF01020304`)
introduce `CNetAddr` dedicated legacy serialize/unserialize methods.
Adjust `CSubNet` accordingly. Still use `CSubNet::netmask[]` of fixed 16
bytes, but use the first 4 for IPv4 (not the last 4). Do not accept
invalid netmasks that have 0-bits followed by 1-bits and only allow
subnetting for IPv4 and IPv6.

Problem:
- Nothing uses the `fspaces` argument to `HexStr()` besides unit
tests. This argument results in extra complexity and a small
performance decrease within the function for branch evalulation.
Solution:
- Remove unused `fspaces` option.
Creates new files util/bip32.h and util/bip32.cpp for containing
BIP 32 stuff.
Moves FormatKeyPath from descriptor.cpp to util/bip32.
Adds a wrapper around it to prepent the 'm' for when just the
BIP 32 style keypath is needed.
Add support for the optional "pf_invalid" out parameter (which allows the caller
to detect decoding failures) to the std::string versions of DecodeBase32 and
DecodeBase64. The char* versions already have this feature.
Also, rename all uses of pfInvalid to pf_invalid to match style guidelines.
Unfortunately, `std::string` elements are (bare) chars. As these
are the most likely type to be passed to these functions, make them use
char instead of unsigned char. This avoids some casts.
