rpc: Require NodeStateStats object in getpeerinfo

There is no situation in which CNodeStateStats could be
missing for a legitimate reason - this can only happen if
there is a race condition between peer disconnection and
the getpeerinfo call, in which case the disconnected peer
doesn't need to be included in the response.
