Merge bitcoin#23542: net: open p2p connections to nodes that listen o…

…n non-default ports

36ee76d net: remove unused CNetAddr::GetHash() (Vasil Dimov)
d0abce9 net: include the port when deciding a relay destination (Vasil Dimov)
2e38a0e net: add CServiceHash constructor so the caller can provide the salts (Vasil Dimov)
9720863 net: open p2p connections to nodes that listen on non-default ports (Vasil Dimov)

Pull request description:

  By default, for mainnet, the p2p listening port is 8333. Bitcoin Core
  has a strong preference for only connecting to nodes that listen on that
  port.

  Remove that preference because connections over clearnet that involve
  port 8333 make it easy to detect, analyze, block or divert Bitcoin p2p
  traffic before the connection is even established (at TCP SYN time).

  For further justification see the OP of:
  bitcoin#23306

+When Bitcoin Core automatically opens outgoing P2P connections it chooses
+a peer (address and port) from its list of potential peers. This list is
+populated with unchecked data, gossiped over the P2P network by other peers.
+
+A malicious actor may gossip an address:port where no Bitcoin node is listening,
+or one where a service is listening that is not related to the Bitcoin network.
+As a result, this service may occasionally get connection attempts from Bitcoin
+nodes.
+
+"Bad" ports are ones used by services which are usually not open to the public
+and usually require authentication. A connection attempt (by Bitcoin Core,
+trying to connect because it thinks there is a Bitcoin node on that
+address:port) to such service may be considered a malicious action by an
+ultra-paranoid administrator. An example for such a port is 22 (ssh). On the
+other hand, connection attempts to public services that usually do not require
+authentication are unlikely to be considered a malicious action,
+e.g. port 80 (http).
+
+Below is a list of "bad" ports which Bitcoin Core avoids when choosing a peer to
+connect to. If a node is listening on such a port, it will likely receive less
+incoming connections.
