Previously we would increase a counter / gauge / histogram on each received identify information. These metrics are missleading, as e.g. they depend on the identify interval and don't represent the set of currently connected peers.
With this commit, identify information is tracked for the currently connected peers only. Instead of an increase on each received identify information, metrics represent the status quo (Gauge).
Example:
```
\# HELP libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_protocols Number of connected nodes supporting a specific protocol, with "unrecognized" for each peer supporting one or more unrecognized protocols...
\# TYPE libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_protocols gauge
libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_protocols_total{protocol="/ipfs/id/push/1.0.0"} 1
libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_protocols_total{protocol="/ipfs/id/1.0.0"} 1
libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_protocols_total{protocol="/ipfs/ping/1.0.0"} 1
libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_protocols_total{protocol="unrecognized"} 1
\# HELP libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_listen_addresses Number of connected nodes advertising a specific listen address...
\# TYPE libp2p_libp2p_identify_remote_listen_addresses gauge

\# TYPE libp2p_libp2p_identify_local_observed_addresses gauge

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`)

This patch removes the 3 out of 4 deprecated public modules. I've left `store` for now because we made some mistakes in declaring that. The items within `store` still need to be publicly visible but I haven't yet figured out a good way of exporting / naming them. Thus, I've left that to a follow-up PR.

Users are encouraged to use `libp2p::connection_limit::Behaviour` which is a one-to-one replacement for this functionality but built as a `NetworkBehaviour`.

When an inbound stream upgrade fails, there isn't a whole lot we can do about that in the handler. In fact, for several errors, we wouldn't even know which specific handler to target, for example, `NegotiationFailed`. Similiarly, in case of an IO error during the upgrade, we don't know which handler the stream was eventually meant to be for.

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>`.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This patch deprecates the existing connection limits within `Swarm` and uses the new `NetworkBehaviour` APIs to implement it as a plugin instead.

Instead of relying on `protoc` and buildscripts, we generate the bindings using `pb-rs` and version them within our codebase. This makes for a better IDE integration, a faster build and an easier use of `rust-libp2p` because we don't force the `protoc` dependency onto them.

A large release with lots of changes I am looking forward to. Sorry for the long release cadence.
Anything folks would like to see included that is not yet in `master`? As usual I would like to only block on bug fixes.
Pull-Request: #3491.
Previously, a `ConnectionHandler` was immediately requested from the `NetworkBehaviour` as soon as a new dial was initiated or a new incoming connection accepted.
With this patch, we delay the creation of the handler until the connection is actually established and fully upgraded, i.e authenticated and multiplexed.
As a consequence, `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` is now deprecated in favor of a new set of callbacks:
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_outbound_connection`
All callbacks are fallible, allowing the `NetworkBehaviour` to abort the connection either immediately or after it is fully established. All callbacks also receive a `ConnectionId` parameter which uniquely identifies the connection. For example, in case a `NetworkBehaviour` issues a dial via `NetworkBehaviourAction::Dial`, it can unambiguously detect this dial in these lifecycle callbacks via the `ConnectionId`.
Finally, `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection` also replaces `NetworkBehaviour::addresses_of_peer` by allowing the behaviour to return more addresses to be used for the dial.
