Pull request description:

  This is an implementation of #17326:
  - all (currently 2) outbound block-relay-only connections (#15759) are dumped to `anchors.dat` file
  - on restart a node tries to connect to the addresses from `anchors.dat`

  This PR prevents a type of eclipse attack when an attacker exploits a victim node restart to force it to connect to new, probably adversarial, peers.
