peering: allow re-establishing terminated peering from new token without deleting existing peering first.
```
Allow dialer to re-establish terminated peering (#16776) Currently, if an acceptor peer deletes a peering the dialer's peering will eventually get to a "terminated" state. If the two clusters need to be re-peered the acceptor will re-generate the token but the dialer will encounter this error on the call to establish: "failed to get addresses to dial peer: failed to refresh peer server addresses, will continue to use initial addresses: there is no active peering for "<<<ID>>>"" This is because in `exchangeSecret().GetDialAddresses()` we will get an error if fetching addresses for an inactive peering. The peering shows up as inactive at this point because of the existing terminated state. Rather than checking whether a peering is active we can instead check whether it was deleted. This way users do not need to delete terminated peerings in the dialing cluster before re-establishing them. 2023-04-03 18:07:45 +00:00			```release-note:improvement
