Brad Fitzpatrick 8f210454dd wgengine/netlog: stop using netmap.NetworkMap type, use LocalBackend
The Logger previously took a *netmap.NetworkMap at Startup and on every
ReconfigNetworkMap call, denormalizing it into per-IP and self lookup
maps. That denormalization is O(n) over all peers and ran on every
netmap update, contributing to the broader quadratic behavior we want
to eliminate when a single peer is added or removed.

Instead, this makes netlog ask LocalBackend (well, nodeBackend) for
the info it needs, letting us remove the netmap.NetworkMap type
entirely from the netlog package.

This is a dependency to removing the netmap.NetworkMap type from
upstream callers, like wgengine.Engine in general.

Updates #12542
