fanquake c7ad94428a Merge #19958: doc: Better document features of feelers
2ea62cae48 Improve docs about feeler connections (Gleb Naumenko)

Pull request description:

  "feeler" and "test-before-evict" are two different strategies suggest in [Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity15/sec15-paper-heilman.pdf). In our codebase, we use `ConnType::FEELER` to implement both.

  It is confusing, up to the point that our documentation was just incorrect.

  This PR:
  - ~clarifies this aspect by renaming "ConnType::FEELER" to "ConnType::PROBE", meaning that this connections only probes that the node is operational, and then disconnects.~
  - fixes the documentation
