Before, this function meant "can we connect to this node and
authenticate it using its ed25519 key?" Now it can additionally
mean, "when somebody else connects to this node, do we expect that
they can authenticate using the node's ed25519 key"?
This change lets us future-proof our link authentication a bit.
Closes ticket 20895. No backport needed, since ed25519 link
authentication support has not been in any LTS release yet, and
existing releases with it should be obsolete before any releases
without support for linkauth=3 are released.
