Description

In a new node wallet.key will be created instead of swarm.key. In an old node the swarm.key will be renamed to wallet.key on start. Due to this, downgrading the node won't be possible because of the name change.

Why? Since the swarm.key is also used to generate the swarm overlay? It's not just a "wallet" key IMHO.

Frankly, I am not qualified/experienced enough in bee to give a proper reason for the change. I am just looking around to contribute to this project and I found https://github.com/ethersphere/bee/issues/4023 in the good first issues.
