feat(kad): implement automatic client mode

protocols/kad/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -6,7 +6,13 @@
 - Remove deprecated public modules `handler`, `protocol` and `kbucket`.
   See [PR 3896].
 
+- Automatically configure client/server mode based on external addresses.
+  If we have or learn about an external address of our node, we operate in server-mode and thus allow inbound requests.
+  By default, a node is in client-mode and only allows outbound requests.
+  See [PR 3877].
