feat(swarm): replace address scoring with explicit candidates
Previously, a `NetworkBehaviour` could report an `AddressScore` for an external address. This score was a `u32` and addresses would be ranked amongst those. In reality, an address is either confirmed to be publicly reachable (via a protocol such as AutoNAT) or merely represents a candidate that might be an external address. In a way, addresses are guilty (private) until proven innocent (publicly reachable). When a `NetworkBehaviour` reports an address candidate, we perform address translation on it to potentially correct for ephemeral ports of TCP. These candidates are then injected back into the `NetworkBehaviour`. Protocols such as AutoNAT can use these addresses as a source for probing their NAT status. Once confirmed, they can emit a `ToSwarm::ExternalAddrConfirmed` event which again will be passed to all `NetworkBehaviour`s. This simplified approach will allow us implement Kademlia's client-mode (libp2p#2032) without additional configuration options: As soon as an address is reported as publicly reachable, we can activate server-mode for that connection.
