p2p: use netip.Addr where possible (#29891 )

enode.Node was recently changed to store a cache of endpoint information. The IP address in the cache is a netip.Addr. I chose that type over net.IP because it is just better. netip.Addr is meant to be used as a value type. Copying it does not allocate, it can be compared with ==, and can be used as a map key.

This PR changes most uses of Node.IP() into Node.IPAddr(), which returns the cached value directly without allocating.
While there are still some public APIs left where net.IP is used, I have converted all code used internally by p2p/discover to the new types. So this does change some public Go API, but hopefully not APIs any external code actually uses.

p2p, p2p/discover: add signed ENR generation (#17753 )

This PR adds enode.LocalNode and integrates it into the p2p
subsystem. This new object is the keeper of the local node
record. For now, a new version of the record is produced every
time the client restarts. We'll make it smarter to avoid that in
the future.

There are a couple of other changes in this commit: discovery now
waits for all of its goroutines at shutdown and the p2p server
now closes the node database after discovery has shut down. This
fixes a leveldb crash in tests. p2p server startup is faster
because it doesn't need to wait for the external IP query
anymore.
