d197977ae2 banman: save the banlist in a JSON format on disk (Vasil Dimov)

Pull request description:

  Save the banlist in `banlist.json` instead of `banlist.dat`.

  This makes it possible to store Tor v3 entries in the banlist on disk
  (and any other addresses that cannot be serialized in addrv1 format).

  Only read `banlist.dat` if it exists and `banlist.json` does not exist (first start after an upgrade).

  Supersedes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20904
  Resolves https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/19748
