51f7668 addrman: change nid_type from int to int64_t (Martin Zumsande)
051ba32 addrman, refactor: introduce user-defined type for internal nId (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
With `nIdCount` being incremented for each addr received, an attacker could cause an overflow in the past, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/2024/07/31/disclose-addrman-int-overflow/
Even though that attack was made infeasible indirectly by addr rate-limiting (PR #22387), to be on the safe side and prevent any regressions change the `nId`s used internally to `int64_t`.
This is being done by first introducing a user-defined type for `nId`s in the first commit, and then updating it to `int64_t` (thanks sipa for help with this!).
Note that `nId` is only used internally, it is not part of the serialization, so `peers.dat` should not be affected by this.
I assume that the only reason this was not done in the past is to not draw attention to this previously undisclosed issue.

ACK 51f7668. I think it's a good change to make the nId space large(64 bits) so that the nId values are distinct.
