p2p: Introduce an `AddrV1Message`

Current `AddrPayload` messages use a tuple to carry the time and network
address. Firstly, it's annoying to have an un-named `u32` in the tuple.
Secondly, a wrapper type makes it easier to implement `encoding` traits.
This introduces a newtype and uses it throughout the crate.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal code cleanup in the peer-to-peer networking module. It replaces an unnamed pair of values (a timestamp number and a network address) with a clearly named wrapper type called AddrV1Message. There is no change to security behavior, no bug fix, and no externally visible protocol change.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal refactoring review; verify downstream consumers of AddrPayload are updated if any exist outside this crate.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
