Issue:
Use `InitPeer` for reactor specific peers
Currently, `AddPeer` is used for reactor specific peers, but `InitPeer` is called for all peers, even if they are rejected later. This has to be changed, as `InitPeer` might allocate some resources in reactor.

It seems OK to move decision about peer acceptance from `AddPeer` to `InitPeer` as it's a first method that's called for each peer.

Pull request description:
refactor: move error handling from AddPeer to InitPeer
Resolves #2128
