Add network to peers window and peer details

[jonatack]

and rename peers window column headers from NodeId and Node/Service to Peer Id and Address.

[hebasto]

Concept ACK.

Especially handy because IPv6 addresses are turned into ellipses until you expand it:

This column might be a more natural place for the inbound/outbound arrow.

Thanks @Sjors. Good idea, done.

#135

In this PR the direction has its own column. This makes the direction sortable.
Having the network type and the direction individually sortable would be great.

Note: I found that offsetting the arrow (based on direction) is a useful visual cue.
And this makes seeing the direction (at a glance) easier.

[jonatack]

@RandyMcMillan not a problem, will just drop the last commit if that PR is merged

I have reviewed the code (79e997e), and tested it.

I've been waiting for this feature for many years :)

I don't think this change is valuable. It is not possible to sort out all connections through a particular network.

[jonatack]

Thanks for the feedback. I dropped the arrows commit (I think there is a better approach possible) and took most of @hebasto's suggestions. (Can drop the clang-formatting changes in the refactoring commit but some of the conditionals have error-prone formatting.)

The most of the re-formatted code could go away in #18 :)

Thanks for the good feedback @hebasto. Added translation, changed the network column align to center, added a commit in your name for the header renaming + initialize columns in the .h, fixed the broken doxygen formatting, dropped the clang formatting, and improved the network tooltip. Updated the PR description and screenshot.

Looks great:

Also I've verified that the "network" field in the getpeerinfo RPC has not changed behavior.

TBH, I don't like it, but it could be changed in a followup.

[jonatack]

Thanks! The sort order was deliberate--my thinking was that users expect this to be sorted by alphabetical order as there isn't an obvious alternative sort expectation, so I went with sort by name rather than by enum id (which may be more what you're thinking of, e.g. ipv4, then ipv6, then onion, then i2p, then cjdns, but that may violate the principle of least surprise to users). I don't mind updating if there is consensus on sort by enum id.

[hebasto]

After #18 a filter feature could be easy added, and the sort order will do not matter :)

[jonatack]

SGTM, will review PRs 161 -> 18 ->164.

[jonatack]

Updated the first commit to remove the now-redundant network string (same idea as @promag's suggestion in the connection type pull) and updated the network column ordering by enum id rather than by network name (@hebasto I agree it's better, though maybe more surprising to some users, see screenshot with your patch to show all the Network enum members). Will open this in the main repo as it now touches RPC code.

[jonatack]

Re-opening here, leaving the main repo pull closed. The changes are minor enough to not warrant moving it to the main repo.

The suggestion for a follow-up is to remove untranslatable network names from the translatable tooltip string.
