b45eae4d53 net: update NET_UNROUTABLE to not_publicly_routable in GetNetworkName() (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
per the IRC discussion today at http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2021-01-19.html#l-87
- return a more helpful string name for `Network::NET_UNROUTABLE`: "not_publicly_routable" instead of "unroutable"
- update the RPC getpeerinfo "network" help, and automate it and the getnetworkinfo "network#name" and the -onlynet help doc generation

In the arguments of `InterruptibleRecv()`, `Socks5()` and
`ConnectThroughProxy()` the variable `hSocket` was previously of type
`SOCKET`, but has been changed to `Sock`. Thus rename it to `sock` to
imply its type, to distinguish from other `SOCKET` variables and to
abide to the coding style wrt variables' names.
Use the `Sock` class instead of `SOCKET` for `InterruptibleRecv()` and
`Socks5()`.
This way the `Socks5()` function can be tested by giving it a mocked
instance of a socket.

Introduce a class to manage the lifetime of a socket - when the object
that contains the socket goes out of scope, the underlying socket will
be closed.
In addition, the new `Sock` class has a `Send()`, `Recv()` and `Wait()`
methods that can be overridden by unit tests to mock the socket
operations.
The `Wait()` method also hides the
`#ifdef USE_POLL poll() #else select() #endif` technique from higher
level code.
Move `CloseSocket()` (and `NetworkErrorString()` which it uses) from
`netbase.{h,cpp}` to newly added `src/util/sock.{h,cpp}`.
This is necessary in order to use `CloseSocket()` from a newly
introduced Sock class (which will live in `src/util/sock.{h,cpp}`).
`sock.{h,cpp}` cannot depend on netbase because netbase will depend
on it.
Move `MillisToTimeval()` from `netbase.{h,cpp}` to
`src/util/system.{h,cpp}`.
This is necessary in order to use `MillisToTimeval()` from a newly
introduced `src/util/sock.{h,cpp}` which cannot depend on netbase
because netbase will depend on it.

Requirement for #11227.
We'll need to create sockets and perform the actual connect in separate steps, so break them up.
#11227 adds an RAII wrapper around connection attempts, as a belt-and-suspenders in case a CloseSocket is missed.

ConnectSocketByName handled resolves as necessary, obscuring the connection
process. With them separated, each can be handled asynchronously.
Also, since proxies must be considered now anyway, go ahead and eliminate the
ConnectSocket wrapper and use ConnectSocketDirectly... directly.
Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user
manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
.onion nodes.
- When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket
- Send `ADD_ONION` command
- First time:
- Make it create a hidden service key
- Save the key in the data directory for later usage
- Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on).
- Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will
(by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed.
According to Tor's extensions to the SOCKS protocol
(https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/socks-extensions.txt)
it is possible to perform stream isolation by providing authentication
to the proxy. Each set of credentials will create a new circuit,
which makes it harder to correlate connections.
This patch adds an option, `-proxyrandomize` (on by default) that randomizes
credentials for every outgoing connection, thus creating a new circuit.

We've chosen to htons/ntohs explicitly on reading and writing
(I do not know why). But as READWRITE already does an endian swap
on big endian, this means the port number gets switched around,
which was what we were trying to avoid in the first place. So
to make this compatible, serialize it as FLATDATA.
