Merge #19405: rpc, cli: add network in/out connections to getnetworkinfo and -getinfo

1ab49b81cf32b6ef9e312a0a8ac45c68a3262f0d Add in/out connections to rpc getnetworkinfo (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  This is basic info that is present in the GUI that I've been wishing to have exposed via the RPC and CLI without needing a bash workaround or script. For human users it would also be useful to have it in `-getinfo`.

  `bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo`
  ```
    "connections": 15,
    "connections_in": 6,
    "connections_out": 9,
  ```

  `bitcoin-cli -getinfo`
  ```
    "connections": {
      "in": 6,
      "out": 9,
      "total": 15
    },
  ```

  Update the tests, RPC help, and release notes for the changes. Also fixup the `getnettotals` timemillis help while touching `rpc/net.cpp`.

  -----

  Reviewers can manually test this PR by [building from source](https://jonatack.github.io/articles/how-to-compile-bitcoin-core-and-run-the-tests), launching bitcoind, and then running `bitcoin-cli -getinfo`, `bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo`, `bitcoin-cli help getnetworkinfo`, and `bitcoin-cli help getnettotals` (for the UNIX epoch time change).

Updated RPCs

  • getnetworkinfo now returns fields connections_in, connections_out, connections_mn_in, connections_mn_out, connections_mn that provide the number of inbound and outbound peer connections. These new fields are in addition to the existing connections field, which returns the total number of peer connections. Old fields inboundconnections, outboundconnections, inboundmnconnections, outboundmnconnections and mnconnections are removed (dash#5823)

CLI

  • The connections field of dash-cli -getinfo is expanded to return a JSON object with in, out and total numbers of peer connections and mn_in, mn_out and mn_total numbers of verified mn connections. It previously returned a single integer value for the total number of peer connections. (dash#5823)
