UX Network Fixes (#6796)

There were two things I came across during some recent testing, that this PR addresses.

1 - The default port for IPv6 was set to 9090, which is confusing. I've set this to match its ipv4 counterpart (i.e 9000 and 9001). This makes more sense and is easier to firewall, for those firewalls that support both versions for a single rule.

2 - Watching the NAT status of lighthouse, I notice we only set the field to 1 once the NAT is passed. We don't give it a default 0 (false). So we only see results when its successful. On peer disconnects, i've piggy-backed a loop of the connected peers to also watch and check for NAT status updates.
