`Transport::listen_on` is an asynchronous operation. It returns immediately but the actual process of establishing a listening socket happens as part of `Transport::poll` which will return one or more `TransportEvent`s related to a particular `listen_on` call.
Currently, `listen_on` returns a `ListenerId` which allows the user of the `Transport` interface to correlate the events with a particular `listen_on` call. This "user" is the `Swarm` runtime. Currently, a user of libp2p establishes a new listening socket by talking to the `Swarm::listen_on` interface and it is not possible to do the same thing via the `NetworkBehaviour` trait.
Within the `NetworkBehaviour` trait, we emit _commands_ to the `Swarm` like `ToSwarm::Dial`. These commands don't have a "return value" like a synchronous function does and thus, if we were to add a `ToSwarm::ListenOn` command, it could not receive the `ListenerId` from the `Transport`.
To fix this and to be consistent with our [coding guidelines](https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/blob/master/docs/coding-guidelines.md#allow-correlating-asynchronous-responses-to-their-requests) we change the interface of `Transport::listen_on` to require the user to pass in a `ListenerId`. This will allow us to construct a command in a `NetworkBehaviour` that remembers this ID which enables precise tracking of which events containing a `ListenerId` correlate which a particular `listen_on` command.
This is especially important in the context of listening on wildcard addresses like `0.0.0.0` because we end up binding to multiple network interfaces and thus emit multiple events for a single `listen_on` call.

I noticed that we also still leak that dependency in several crates by providing a `From` impl so I've removed that one as well.

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>`.

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.
Pull-Request: #3735.
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.

This functionality isn't needed anywhere in `rust-libp2p` so we can deprecate and later remove it and thus reduce our API surface. Users relying on this function can vendor it.

This PR renames some method names that don't follow Rust naming conventions or behave differently from what the name suggests:
- Enforce "try" prefix on all methods that return `Result`.
- Enforce "encode" method name for methods that return encoded bytes.
- Enforce "to_bytes" method name for methods that return raw bytes.
- Enforce "decode" method name for methods that convert encoded key.
- Enforce "from_bytes" method name for methods that convert raw bytes.
Pull-Request: #3775.
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.
Resolves#3024.

Prefixing a variable with an underscore (`_`) in Rust indicates that it is not used. Through refactorings, it can sometimes happen that we do end up using such a variable. In this case, the underscore should be removed.
Clippy can help us with this.
Pull-Request: #3484.
We create the `ConnectionId` for the new connection as part of `DialOpts`. This allows `NetworkBehaviour`s to accurately track state regarding their own dial attempts.
This patch is the main enabler of https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3254. Removing the `handler` field will allow us to deprecate the `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` function in favor of four new ones that give more control over the connection lifecycle.
The trick with this one is to use `futures::Either` everywhere where we may wrap something that implements any of the `futures` traits. This includes the output of `EitherFuture` itself. We also need to implement `StreamMuxer` on `future::Either` because `StreamMuxer`s may be the the `Output` of `InboundUpgrade`.
We can completely replace `EitherFuture2` with `EitherFuture`. `EitherFuture` itself cannot be removed for now because the `Future` implementation on `future::Either` forces both `Future`s to evaluate to the same type.
Previously, every inbound or outbound upgrade generated a log at `debug` level, without information about the upgrade.
This commit changes it such that successful upgrades are logged at `trace` level (due to ubiquitous use of OneShot handlers) and that the negotiated protocol name is included in the message.
As I do frequently, I corrected for the latest clippy warnings. This will make sure the CI won't complain in the future. We could automate this btw and maybe run the nightly version of clippy.
In case support for e.g. RSA keys is disabled at compile-time, we will now print a better error message. For example:
> Failed to dial Some(PeerId("QmcZf59bWwK5XFi76CZX8cbJ4BhTzzA3gU1ZjYZcYW3dwt")): Failed to negotiate transport protocol(s): [(/dnsaddr/bootstrap.libp2p.io/p2p/QmcZf59bWwK5XFi76CZX8cbJ4BhTzzA3gU1ZjYZcYW3dwt): : Handshake failed: Handshake failed: Invalid public key: Key decoding error: RSA keys are unsupported)]
Fixes#2971.
Previously, the executor for connection tasks silently defaulted to a `futures::executor::ThreadPool`. This causes issues such as https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/2230.
With this patch, we force the user to choose, which executor they want to run the connection tasks on which results in overall simpler API with less footguns.
Closes#3068.
