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>`.
Resolves: #2831.

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.
