core/muxing: Remove the StreamMuxer::flush_all function (#2669)

`libp2p-core` provides the `StreamMuxer` abstraction so it can provide
functionality that abstracts over this trait.

We never use the `flush_all` function as part of our abstractions.
No one else is going to use it so we can remove it from the abstraction.

 - Have methods on `Transport` take `&mut self` instead of `self`. See [PR 2529].
+- Remove `StreamMuxer::flush_all`. See [PR 2669].
 - Rename `StreamMuxer::close` to `StreamMuxer::poll_close`. See [PR 2666].
 - Remove deprecated function `StreamMuxer::is_remote_acknowledged`. See [PR 2665].
