Previously, a protocol could be any sequence of bytes as long as it started with `/`. Now, we directly parse a protocol as `String` which enforces it to be valid UTF8.
To notify users of this change, we delete the `ProtocolName` trait. The new requirement is that users need to provide a type that implements `AsRef<str>`.
We also add a `StreamProtocol` newtype in `libp2p-swarm` which provides an easy way for users to ensure their protocol strings are compliant. The newtype enforces that protocol strings start with `/`. `StreamProtocol` also implements `AsRef<str>`, meaning users can directly use it in their upgrades.
`multistream-select` by itself only changes marginally with this patch. The only thing we enforce in the type-system is that protocols must implement `AsRef<str>`.
Resolves: #2831.
Pull-Request: #3746.
* misc/metrics: Explicitly delegate event recording to each recorder
This allows delegating a single event to multiple `Recorder`s. That enables e.g. the
`identify::Metrics` `Recorder` to act both on `IdentifyEvent` and `SwarmEvent`. The latter enables
it to garbage collect per peer data on disconnects.
* protocols/dcutr: Expose PROTOCOL_NAME
* protocols/identify: Expose PROTOCOL_NAME and PUSH_PROTOCOL_NAME
* protocols/ping: Expose PROTOCOL_NAME
* protocols/relay: Expose HOP_PROTOCOL_NAME and STOP_PROTOCOL_NAME
* misc/metrics: Track # connected nodes supporting specific protocol
An example metric exposed with this patch:
```
libp2p_identify_protocols{protocol="/ipfs/ping/1.0.0"} 10
```
This implies that 10 of the currently connected nodes support the ping protocol.
This commit adds an implementation for the circuit relay v2 protocol to be used
as a relay server, i.e. it supports incoming HOP requests and outgoing STOP
requests and used as a relay clients, i.e. outgoing HOP requests and incoming
STOP requests.
The existing circuit relay v1 protocol implementation is moved to
protocols/relay/src/v1.
