test: address self-announcement

Test that a node sends a self-announcement with its external IP to
in- and outbound peers after connection open and again sometime later.

Since the code for the test is mostly the same for addr and addrv2
messages, I opted to add a new test file instead of having duplicate
code in p2p_addr_relay.py and p2p_addrv2_relay.py.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new automated test file to Bitcoin Core. It checks that a node correctly tells its peers about its own external IP address after connecting and again later. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin network code, only new test code.
