#33361: relay: Warn about the lack of ContactInfo and the consequence

The network health team (including bad relays) as been rejecting group of
relays more and more that do not have their `ContactInfo` or/and
`MyFamily` set (for a group of relays from the same operator).
These are for safety and health purposes of the network. See the relay
guidelines for that.
That being said, we should improve the log notice that an operator get
when failing to set `ContactInfo` to a warning and adding a sentence that
says they might get rejected from the network due to a lack of valid
responsive `ContactInfo`.
I would argue that this needs a backport for our maintained versions.
Please, let me know if not agreeing with that
