Starting with nightly-2023-09-10, the `[lints]` section in `Cargo.toml` files is stable. Together with workspace inheritance, this can be used to declare all lints we want to enforce in a single place.
Resolves: #4484.
Pull-Request: #4575.
Previously, a connection would be shut down immediately as soon as its `ConnectionHandler` reports `KeepAlive::No`. As we have gained experience with libp2p, it turned out that this isn't ideal.
For one, tests often need to keep connections alive longer than the configured protocols require. Plus, some usecases require connections to be kept alive in general.
Both of these needs are currently served by the `keep_alive::Behaviour`. That one does essentially nothing other than statically returning `KeepAlive::Yes` from its `ConnectionHandler`.
It makes much more sense to deprecate `keep_alive::Behaviour` and instead allow users to globally configure an `idle_conncetion_timeout` on the `Swarm`. This timeout comes into effect once a `ConnectionHandler` reports `KeepAlive::No`. To start with, this timeout is 0. Together with https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/3844, this will allow us to move towards a much more aggressive closing of idle connections, together with a more ergonomic way of opting out of this behaviour.

This resolves an issue where our tests were depending on the number of network interfaces available on the local machine.

Using workspace inheritance breaks `cargo release` because it cannot resolve that the dev-dependencies should only use a `path` and not a version.

Previously, a `NetworkBehaviour` could report an `AddressScore` for an external address. This score was a `u32` and addresses would be ranked amongst those.
In reality, an address is either confirmed to be publicly reachable (via a protocol such as AutoNAT) or merely represents a candidate that might be an external address. In a way, addresses are guilty (private) until proven innocent (publicly reachable).
When a `NetworkBehaviour` reports an address candidate, we perform address translation on it to potentially correct for ephemeral ports of TCP. These candidates are then injected back into the `NetworkBehaviour`. Protocols such as AutoNAT can use these addresses as a source for probing their NAT status. Once confirmed, they can emit a `ToSwarm::ExternalAddrConfirmed` event which again will be passed to all `NetworkBehaviour`s.
This simplified approach will allow us implement Kademlia's client-mode (https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/2032) without additional configuration options: As soon as an address is reported as publicly reachable, we can activate server-mode for that connection.

Pull-Request: #3954.
Previously, the associated types on `NetworkBehaviour` and `ConnectionHandler` carried generic names like `InEvent` and `OutEvent`. These names are _correct_ in that `OutEvent`s are passed out and `InEvent`s are passed in but they don't help users understand how these types are used.
In theory, a `ConnectionHandler` could be used separately from `NetworkBehaviour`s but that is highly unlikely. Thus, we rename these associated types to indicate, where the message is going to be sent to:
- `NetworkBehaviour::OutEvent` is renamed to `ToSwarm`: It describes the message(s) a `NetworkBehaviour` can emit to the `Swarm`. The user is going to receive those in `SwarmEvent::Behaviour`.
- `ConnectionHandler::InEvent` is renamed to `FromBehaviour`: It describes the message(s) a `ConnectionHandler` can receive from its behaviour via `ConnectionHandler::on_swarm_event`. The `NetworkBehaviour` can send it via the `ToSwarm::NotifyHandler` command.
- `ConnectionHandler::OutEvent` is renamed to `ToBehaviour`: It describes the message(s) a `ConnectionHandler` can send back to the behaviour via the now also renamed `ConnectionHandlerEvent::NotifyBehaviour` (previously `ConnectionHandlerEvent::Custom`)

Previously, we would specify the version and path of our workspace dependencies in each of our crates. This is error prone as https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3658#discussion_r1153278072 for example shows. Problems like these happened in the past too.
There is no need for us to ever depend on a earlier version than the most current one in our crates. It thus makes sense that we manage this version in a single place.
Cargo supports a feature called "workspace inheritance" which allows us to share a dependency declaration across a workspace and inherit it with `{ workspace = true }`.
We do this for all our workspace dependencies and for the MSRV.

Previously, we reinserted the `Peer` in the "undo" function which is obviously wrong. This patch fixes the behaviour to be correct and adds two regression tests.
Pull-Request: #3789.
With https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3658, these crates depend on the `0.42.1` release to access the new `ToSwarm` type. With the currently specified version, a user could theoretically run into a compile error if they pin `libp2p-swarm` to `0.42.0` in their lockfile but update to the latest patch release of one of these crates.
Pull-Request: #3711.
Currently, banning peers is a first-class feature of `Swarm`. With the new connection management capabilities of `NetworkBehaviour`, we can now implement allow and block lists as a separate module.
We introduce a new crate `libp2p-allow-block-list` and deprecate `Swarm::ban_peer_id` in favor of that.
