Fix handshake validation to check the received peer NodeInfo (not local NodeInfo), closing a path where malformed peer payloads could bypass validation and trigger nil dereference later in handshake flow. Also harden NodeInfo.Validate by rejecting nil NetAddress explicitly. Tests: - add NodeInfo.Validate regression for missing NetAddress - add transport handshake regression for malformed peer node info Context: NEWTENDG-161
