Merge bitcoin#19797: net: Remove old check for 3-byte shifted IP addresses from pre-0.2.9 nodes

7b6d0f1 Remove old check for 3-byte shifted IP addresses from pre-0.2.9 node messages (Raúl Martínez (RME))

Pull request description:

  The change removes an old check for IPv6 addresses in range ::ff:ff00:0:0:0/72 that were created due to a bug in size field of addr messages for 0.2.8 nodes and before.

  This check is no longer needed as they are no more pre 0.2.9 nodes on the network (as per bitnodes network snapshot).

  Credits for discovering this go to sipa in bitcoin#19628 (comment)

  Thanks for the attention!
