This adds an 'AUTOBOOL' config switch that explicitly enables the IP discovery feature by announce-addr-discovered, as users may also want to have IP discovery plus TOR just as fallback to increase overall connectivity.

Currently its still a bit tricky to use IP discovery as one need to disable any usable addresses i.e. by binding just to a specific interface and configure without TOR. This will enable 'default' behavior: when there are no usable addresses try ip discovery. Without this trick, when a node finds just a single (a likely changing IP address), it will announce this forever and IP discovery is disabled and never rechecks addresses bound to initially.

If unset, the default/auto behavior stays the same, meaning only do IP discovery when there are no usable addresses.

NOTE: there is a simpler version of this PR in #5843 that does the same but without the autobool, thus defaulting to disabled IP discovery.

Very nice change, I like the autobool behavior, though in order places we simply set AUTO = NULL so we can distinguish optional values from their default value. Checking #5843 as an alternative next.

I like this approach, esp with the fixes at the end, but I think the name of the option is wrong, and the autobool should be in common/ or something, not ccan/

ci: adds git fetch before doing schema checks
9ba1469 
This fixes the CI errors when doing `make check-source`
steps 'schema-added-check' and 'schema-removed-check'.
These errors prevented CI from performing these steps correctly:

```
fatal: ambiguous argument 'main': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
```

I changed it so that CI does a `git fetch origin` at first and do
the `git diff` against 'origin/master' (which then exist).
Also fixed a bug in the script that was missing $$master in the same line.

Also I added that the script shows the actual diff before failing,
so the user quickly sees whats wrong.

opts: announce-addr-discovered on/off/auto switch
d12143c 
This adds the option to explicitly enable ip-discovery, which maybe
helpful for example when a user wants TOR announced along with
discovered IPs to improve connectivity and have TOR just as a fallback.

This switch was not doing anything useful anymore.
We deprecate it anyways to notify the user about the new switch.

@ALL
Just a final question to the parameter name, is --announce-addr-discovered a good name? We will have to align this with #5842 (where we set the port to be used for announcement of discovered addresses), so this would mean we will have to have something like --announce-addr-discovered-port.

Or should we go back to --ip-discovery and --ip-discovery-port ?

No preference on my side, I like the explicit nature of the first couple of names, and the brevity of the latter ones, so count me as undecided :-)

I like announce-addr-discovered but don't have strong feelings on it. Looks good to me apart from the typo.
