Pull request description:

  `PoissonNextSend` and `PoissonNextSendInbound` are used in the p2p code to obfuscate various regularly occurring processes, in order to make it harder for others to get timing-based information deterministically.

  The naming of these functions has been confusing to several people (including myself, see also #23347) because the resulting random timestamps don't follow a Poisson distribution but an exponential distribution (related to events in a Poisson process, hence the name). This PR
  - moves `PoissonNextSend()` out of `net` to `random` and renames it to `GetExponentialRand()`
  - moves `PoissonNextSendInbound()` out of `CConnman` to `PeerManager` and renames it to `NextInvToInbounds()`
  - adds documentation for these functions

  This is work by jnewbery - due to him being less active currently, I opened the PR and will address feedback.
