This PR makes several changes to the errors in general, with the main goal of extracting the reject-reason from the request response protocols:

  • an ImmediateDial error is introduced for failing to dial peers due to internal errors (no addresses available, tried to dial self, already connected etc) to distinguish between network dial failures
  • opening substreams now return a SubstreamError instead of using the overarching litep2p::Error
  • substreams are now implementing Stream<Error = SubstreamError> for consistency with opening substreams
  • Reject reasons include immediate dialing errors. Ideally, we could expose the same level of information that is exposed via ListDialErrors (provide a tuple of addresses with individual dial errors), however that would require a bigger refactor to the code. For now this information is enough for Substrate metrics to provide more information and align with litep2p metrics.

This PR is part of a bigger effort to simply the overarching error enum:

Very good work on errors self-descriptiveness!

## [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));
```
