* Fix self-dialing in Kademlia. Addresses https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/341 which is the cause for one of the observations made in https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/1053. However, the latter is not assumed to be fully addressed by these changes and needs further investigation. Currently, whenever a search for a key yields a response containing the initiating peer as one of the closest peers known to the remote, the local node would attempt to dial itself. That attempt is ignored by the Swarm, but the Kademlia behaviour now believes it still has a query ongoing which is always doomed to time out. That timeout delays successful completion of the query. Hence, any query where a remote responds with the ID of the local node takes at least as long as the `rpc_timeout` to complete, which possibly affects almost all queries in smaller clusters where every node knows about every other. This problem is fixed here by ensuring that Kademlia never tries to dial the local node. Furthermore, `Discovered` events are no longer emitted for the local node and it is not inserted into the `untrusted_addresses` from discovery, as described in #341. This commit also includes a change to the condition for freezing / terminating a Kademlia query upon receiving a response. Specifically, the condition is tightened such that it only applies if in addition to `parallelism` consecutive responses that failed to yield a peer closer to the target, the last response must also either not have reported any new peer or the number of collected peers has already reached the number of desired results. In effect, a Kademlia query now tries harder to actually return `k` closest peers. Tests have been refactored and expanded. * Add another comment.
