When you install keys you typically get more ids via htt-peer-map
event. I think there were some other cases as well..

This was developed very long ago when peer-id mapping wasn't really
well understood. Perhaps we could make do without peer id map now?
i.e. only care about the first htt-peer-map per peer address?
