The purpose of the pending_opens field is to double check outbound substream opens.
This was used to ensure that the substream ID was indeed opened to a given peer ID.
However, this is not needed considering the identify implementation.

Further, the pending_opens was leaking (SubstramId, PeerId) tuples in cases where the
substream opening would later fail. In other words, the implementation did not remove the tuples on the TransportEvent::SubstreamOpenFailure event.

Part of endeavors to fix memory leaks: paritytech/polkadot-sdk#6149

Testing Done

  • custom patched litep2p to dump the internal state of identify protocol running in kusama

The code is similar to the identify protocol. However, this leak was more subtle and not of the magnitude of the identify protocol since substream open failures are not that frequent:

## [0.8.0] - 2024-11-01

This release adds support for content provider advertisement and
discovery to Kademlia protocol implementation (see libp2p
[spec](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/kad-dht/README.md#content-provider-advertisement-and-discovery)).
Additionally, the release includes several improvements and memory leak
fixes to enhance the stability and performance of the litep2p library.

### Added

- kad: Providers part 8: unit, e2e, and `libp2p` conformance tests
([#258](#258))
- kad: Providers part 7: better types and public API, public addresses &
known providers ([#246](#246))
- kad: Providers part 6: stop providing
([#245](#245))
- kad: Providers part 5: `GET_PROVIDERS` query
([#236](#236))
- kad: Providers part 4: refresh local providers
([#235](#235))
- kad: Providers part 3: publish provider records (start providing)
([#234](#234))

### Changed

- transport_service: Improve connection stability by downgrading
connections on substream inactivity
([#260](#260))
- transport: Abort canceled dial attempts for TCP, WebSocket and Quic
([#255](#255))
- kad/executor: Add timeout for writting frames
([#277](#277))
- kad: Avoid cloning the `KademliaMessage` and use reference for
`RoutingTable::closest`
([#233](#233))
- peer_state: Robust state machine transitions
([#251](#251))
- address_store: Improve address tracking and add eviction algorithm
([#250](#250))
- kad: Remove unused serde cfg
([#262](#262))
- req-resp: Refactor to move functionality to dedicated methods
([#244](#244))
- transport_service: Improve logs and move code from tokio::select macro
([#254](#254))

### Fixed

- tcp/websocket/quic: Fix cancel memory leak
([#272](#272))
- transport: Fix pending dials memory leak
([#271](#271))
- ping: Fix memory leak of unremoved `pending_opens`
([#274](#274))
- identify: Fix memory leak of unused `pending_opens`
([#273](#273))
- kad: Fix not retrieving local records
([#221](#221))

This PR updates litep2p to the latest release.

- `KademliaEvent::PutRecordSucess` is renamed to fix word typo
- `KademliaEvent::GetProvidersSuccess` and
`KademliaEvent::IncomingProvider` are needed for bootnodes on DHT work
and will be utilized later
