Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#24201: p2p: Avoid InitError when downgrading peers.dat

d41ed32 p2p: Avoid InitError when downgrading peers.dat (junderw)

Pull request description:

  fixes #24188 (also see bitcoin/bitcoin#22762 (comment))
  When downgrading, a peers.dat with a future version that has a minimum
  required version larger than the downgraded Bitcoin Core version would cause an InitError.

  This commit changes this behavior to overwrite the existing peers.dat with
  a new empty one.
