86d4cf42d97abf4c436d1eabf29e2ed150f69c1e Increase the ip address relay branching factor for unreachable networks (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Onion addresses propagate very badly among the IPv4/IPv6 network, resulting
in difficulty for those to find each other.
The branching factor 1 is probably so low that propagations die out before
they reach another onion peer. Increase it to 1.5 on average.

ACK 86d4cf42d97abf4c436d1eabf29e2ed150f69c1e. Code review, built and running with some sanity check logging. `RelayAddress()` is called by `ProcessMessage() ADDR` msg handling, from within the loop while processing each new address to relay it to a limited number of other nodes. According to git blame, the line setting `nRelayNodes` hasn't been touched since 2016 in e736772c56a *Move network-msg-processing code out of main to its own file*, which moved the line but otherwise did not change it. Running a mixed clearnet/onion node with this patch and the logging below, I'm only seeing values of `fReachable 1, nRelayNodes 2`. IIUC, I need to use the settings in `init.cpp` that call `SetReachable(*, false)`. *Edit:* with `onlynet=onion` am now seeing entries of `fReachable 0` with `nRelayNodes` values of 1 and 2.
