 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.
