Prefer well-connected nodes for introduction nodes

When forming blinded paths, using a reliable node as the introduction
node is important to ensure onion message reliability. Order blinded
paths by how well-connected the introduction node is as a proxy for
reliability.

For short paths (e.g., when the sender and recipient share an LSP), this
may also result in a scenario where initiating a direct connection isn't
necessary. That is helpful when using RGS since it currently doesn't
include node announcements and thus cannot initiate a direct connection.
