control/controlclient, tailcfg: add Node.Expired field, set for expired nodes

Nodes that are expired, taking into account the time delta calculated
from MapResponse.ControlTime have the newly-added Expired boolean set.
For additional defense-in-depth, also replicate what control does and
clear the Endpoints and DERP fields, and additionally set the node key
to a bogus value.

Updates #6932
