Age Manning eac43d144f protocols/gossipsub: Prevent non-published messages being added to caches (#1930)
Currently, Gossipsub messages may not be published on a topic if there are no
subscribed peers on that topic, however they are being added to a duplicate
cache. If the messages are content-addressed, this prevents the user from
attempting to republish the message in the future.

This commit modifies the logic such that messages are only added to the caches
(duplicate, memcache and published_messages) if the message could be published
to at least one peer.

Previously, a failed publish would be added the memcache. This meant that the
router would gossip about a failed publish, such that if a peer joined the topic
after the failed publish (but within the gossip history time window) the message
could still be propagated to the newly connected peers. With this PR, a failed
publish now definitively indicates the message will not be published on the
network and the user is required to re-submit at a later time, once sufficient
peers exist on the topic.
