#3045: We shouldn't log nodes by nickname

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Node nicknames are not unique, and not what people should be entering into
their configurations. When we have any log messages that describes a node
by its nickname alone, that's a problem. Instead, we should probably log
something more like the node ID or the "extended node ID" format
($hexid~nickname), and maybe the node IP:ORPort too.
As we do this, we should also be careful about logging bridge addresses or
node IDs.
