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.

In the libp2p specs, the only handshake pattern that is specified is the XX handshake. Support for other handshake patterns can be added through external modules. While we are at it, we rename the remaining types to following the laid out naming convention.
The tests for handshakes other than XX are removed. The handshakes still work as we don't touch them in this patch.

These functions were only used for some code in the interop-tests which is easily mitigated and perhaps even easier to understand now. We can thus deprecate these functions and their related types and thereby reduce the API surface of `libp2p-core` and the maintenance burden.
This change is motivated by the work around making protocols always strings which requires/required updates to all these upgrades.

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.

We currently expose `libp2p-quic` and `libp2p-webrtc` as submodules from the `libp2p` crate despite those only being "alpha" status. This causes problems because we need to pin those dependencies due to `cargo` automatically upgrading alphas (which are allowed to incur breaking changes as per semver spec). Additionally, exposing these modules practically hides the "alpha" state of those modules, rendering it kind of obsolete.
The "alpha" state is still true for those modules, thus to properly communicate this to users, we deprecate the modules and require users to spell out the dependency and the alpha version in their manifest.

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

Implementation of the libp2p perf protocol according to https://github.com/libp2p/specs/pull/478/.
//CC @MarcoPolo as the author of the specification.
**Don't (yet) expect this to produce reliable performance metrics.**

We will embrace the fact that cargo auto updates to new alpha versions. We can prevent auto updates on breaking alpha versions by bumping their minor version.

The examples have recently been moved to a new directory. Use absolute paths to link to them and fix two bad links from renamed crates.
Pull-Request: #3571.
Currently, our top-level `Cargo.toml` manifest represents a crate AND a workspace. This causes surprising behaviour (e.g. #2949) where we need to explicitly pass `--workpace` to every command to run it on the entire workspace and not just the meta crate.
My moving the meta crate into its own directory, the root manifest file is a virtual manifest only and thus, every `cargo` command will automatically default to running on the entire workspace.
On top of this, I personally find it easier to understand if workspace and crate manifests are not mixed.
