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.

This PR adds some bandwidth improvements to gossipsub.
After a bit of inspection on live networks a number of improvements have been
made that can help reduce unnecessary bandwidth on gossipsub networks. This PR
introduces the following:
- A 1:1 tracking of all in-flight IWANT requests. This not only ensures that all
IWANT requests are answered and peers penalized accordingly, but gossipsub
will no no longer create multiple IWANT requests for multiple peers.
Previously, gossipsub sampled the in-flight IWANT requests in order to
penalize peers for not responding with a high probability that we would detect
non-responsive nodes. Futher, it was possible to re-request IWANT messages
that are already being requested causing added duplication in messages and
wasted unnecessary IWANT control messages. This PR shifts this logic to only
request message ids that we are not currently requesting from peers.
- Triangle routing naturally gives rise to unnecessary duplicates. Consider a
mesh of 4 peers that are interconnected. Peer 1 sends a new message to 2,3,4.
2 propagates to 3,4 and 3 propagates to 2,4 and 4 propagates to 2,3. In this
case 3 has received the message 3 times. If we keep track of peers that send
us messages, when publishing or forwarding we no longer send to peers that
have sent us a duplicate, we can eliminate one of the sends in the scenario
above. This only occurs when message validation is async however. This PR adds
this logic to remove some elements of triangle-routing duplicates.

Address all clippy complaints that are not purely stylistic (or even

This commit upgrades the current gossipsub implementation to support the [v1.1
spec](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/gossipsub-v1.1.md).
It adds a number of features, bug fixes and performance improvements.
Besides support for all new 1.1 features, other improvements that are of particular note:
- Improved duplicate LRU-time cache (this was previously a severe bottleneck for
large message throughput topics)
- Extended message validation configuration options
- Arbitrary topics (users can now implement their own hashing schemes)
- Improved message validation handling - Invalid messages are no longer dropped
but sent to the behaviour for application-level processing (including scoring)
- Support for floodsub, gossipsub v1 and gossipsub v2
- Protobuf encoding has been shifted into the behaviour. This has permitted two
improvements:
1. Message size verification during publishing (report to the user if the
message is too large before attempting to send).
2. Message fragmentation. If an RPC is too large it is fragmented into its
sub components and sent in smaller chunks.
Additional Notes
The peer eXchange protocol defined in the v1.1 spec is inactive in its current
form. The current implementation permits sending `PeerId` in `PRUNE` messages,
however a `PeerId` is not sufficient to form a new connection to a peer. A
`Signed Address Record` is required to safely transmit peer identity
information. Once these are confirmed (https://github.com/libp2p/specs/pull/217)
a future PR will implement these and make PX usable.
