Previously, the `libp2p-ping` module came with a policy to close a connection after X failed pings. This is only one of many possible policies on how users would want to do connection management.
We remove this policy without a replacement. If users wish to restore this functionality, they can easily implement such policy themselves: The default value of `max_failures` was 1. To restore the previous functionality users can simply close the connection upon the first received ping error.
In this same patch, we also simplify the API of `ping::Event` by removing the layer of `ping::Success` and instead reporting the RTT to the peer directly.

The `unreachable_pub` lint makes us aware of uses of `pub` that are not actually reachable from the crate root. This is considered good because it means reading a `pub` somewhere means it is actually public API. Some of our crates are quite large and keeping their entire API surface in your head is difficult.
We should strive for most items being `pub(crate)`. This lint helps us enforce that.

* 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.
