This PR exposes an object for handling public addresses.

  • add_address - adds an address to the given set, inserting the local peer ID or returning an error on different peer Ids
  • remove_address - removes an exact address from the set
  • get_addresses - list of actual addresses

Users of litep2p can obtain the given list via litep2p::public_addresses method.
The lists are exposed internally by a similar API on the transport handler (the handler that communicates with the transport manager).

The identify protocol provides a concatenated list of:

  • user provided addresses via the config
  • listen addresses
  • external addresses

This ensures that Substrate can use a custom heuristic to update the list of external addresses.

Testing Done

  • Added an integration test with 2 litep2p nodes

Closes: #191

This could return IdentifyHandle which would hold IdentifyPublicAddresses and would implement Stream<Item = IdentifyEvent>, following the design of other protocols.

I like that idea, will certainly implement it! Thanks for the review!

Have put this on pending shortly, I have a hunch we'll need to expose an ExternalAddrConfirmed (like libp2p) to suffice other usecases (#211). Will wait for Dmitry to confirm that these are needed for the bootnodes on DHT🙏

Sorry to have not responded here. We discussed #211 with @lexnv, and my idea was to introduce a globally accessible list of public addresses in litep2p. If some protocol needs external addresses, it can fetch them. This includes Identify and Kademlia protocols now.

As a first step, we can manually notify litep2p about confirmed external addresses from the client code. As a second step, we can move the heuristic of confirming external addresses seen by three or more peers from polkadot-sdk to litep2p. I have updated #211 to be more clear about this.

I don't think ExternalAddrConfirmed event will help with providing up-to-date peer addresses for local content providers in Kademlia from within litep2p, but the option to get addresses from the global list will.

Your plan sounds good. The easiest place to store the external addresses is probably TransportManager, partly since there already exists code for storing known addresses via TransportManagerHandle and since every protocol has a handle to TransportManager, it should require little architectural changes.

The PublicAddresses struct is quite nice and has a convenient API, but I think we need to keep clear separation between listen addresses and public addresses (see inline comments).

I don't think we need one more place to specify public addresses. Getting public addresses via a handle from TransportManager should be enough.

I probably was not quite clear on this, but I meant we don't need to let user pass addresses directly to Identify config if we already have an API to notify litep2p about public addresses.

Looks good! As now we can notify litep2p about public addresses, IMO we can safely remove public addresses from the Identify config.

## [0.7.0] - 2024-09-05

This release introduces several new features, improvements, and fixes to
the litep2p library. Key updates include enhanced error handling,
configurable connection limits, and a new API for managing public
addresses.

### [Exposing Public Addresses
API](#212)

A new `PublicAddresses` API has been added, enabling users to manage the
node's public addresses. This API allows developers to add, remove, and
retrieve public addresses, which are shared with peers through the
Identify protocol.

```rust
    // Public addresses are accessible from the main litep2p instance.
    let public_addresses = litep2p.public_addresses();

    // Add a new public address to the node.
    if let Err(err) = public_addresses.add_address(multiaddr) {
        eprintln!("Failed to add public address: {:?}", err);
    }

    // Remove a public address from the node.
    public_addresses.remove_address(&multiaddr);

    // Retrieve all public addresses of the node.
    for address in public_addresses.get_addresses() {
        println!("Public address: {}", address);
    }
```

**Breaking Change**: The Identify protocol no longer includes public
addresses in its configuration. Instead, use the new `PublicAddresses`
API.

Migration Guide:

```rust
    // Before:
    let (identify_config, identify_event_stream) = IdentifyConfig::new(
        "/substrate/1.0".to_string(),
        Some(user_agent),
        config.public_addresses,
    );

    // After:
    let (identify_config, identify_event_stream) =
        IdentifyConfig::new("/substrate/1.0".to_string(), Some(user_agent));
    // Public addresses must now be added using the `PublicAddresses` API:
    for address in config.public_addresses {
        if let Err(err) = public_addresses.add_address(address) {
            eprintln!("Failed to add public address: {:?}", err);
        }
    }
```

### [Dial Error and List Dial Failures
Event](#206)

The `DialFailure` event has been enhanced with a new `DialError` enum
for more precise error reporting when a dial attempt fails.
Additionally, a `ListDialFailures` event has been introduced, listing
all dialed addresses and their corresponding errors when multiple
addresses are involved.

Other litep2p errors, such as `ParseError`, `AddressError`, and
`NegotiationError`, have been refactored for improved error propagation.

### [Immediate Dial Error and Request-Response Rejection
Reasons](#227)

This new feature paves the way for better error handling in the
`litep2p` library and moves away from the overarching
`litep2p::error::Error` enum.

The newly added `ImmediateDialError` enum captures errors occurring
before a dial request is sent (e.g., missing peer IDs). It also enhances
the `RejectReason` enum for request-response protocols, offering more
detailed rejection reasons.


```rust
match error {
    RequestResponseError::Rejected(reason) => {
        match reason {
            RejectReason::ConnectionClosed => "connection-closed",
            RejectReason::DialFailed(Some(ImmediateDialError::AlreadyConnected)) => "already-connected",
            _ => "other",
        }
    }
    _ => "other",
}
```

### [Connection Limits](#185)

Developers can now set limits on the number of inbound and outbound
connections to manage resources and optimize performance.

```rust
    // Configure connection limits for inbound and outbound established connections.
    let litep2p_config = Config::default()
        .with_connection_limits(ConnectionLimitsConfig::default()
            .max_incoming_connections(Some(3))
            .max_outgoing_connections(Some(2))
        );
```

### [Feature Flags for Optional
Transports](#192)

The library now supports feature flags to selectively enable or disable
transport protocols. By default, only the `TCP` transport is enabled.
Optional transports include:

- `quic` - Enables QUIC transport.
- `websocket` - Enables WebSocket transport.
- `webrtc` - Enables WebRTC transport.

### [Configurable Keep-Alive
Timeout](#155)

The keep-alive timeout for connections is now configurable, providing
more control over connection lifecycles.

```rust
    // Set keep alive timeout for connections.
    let litep2p_config = Config::default()
        .with_keep_alive_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30));
```
