When we add the own peer id to a multiaddr, we should verify if it already has it, or if it is an address of circuit-relay / stardust. Otherwise, we might end up with multiaddrs like: /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5892/ws/p2p/PEER_ID/p2p/PEER_ID

Do you think this would be better done by only appending the peer id to certain types of multiaddrs, a la #2727 ?

I haven't considered that since I did not know about the issue, but this is a good question!

This also needs to be considered for stardust, and possibly others in the future. This might make the validation of a growing list of different multiaddrs, which is my biggest concerns.

FYI, we currently consider multiaddr without p2p as valid: https://github.com/multiformats/js-mafmt/blob/master/src/index.js#L77-L96
