* Rename some methods and constants for clarity
Using the following commands:
```
fastmod '\bis_ready_for_attempt\b' is_ready_for_connection_attempt
# One instance required a tweak, because of the ASCII diagram.
fastmod '\bwas_recently_live\b' has_connection_recently_responded
fastmod '\bwas_recently_attempted\b' was_connection_recently_attempted
fastmod '\bwas_recently_failed\b' has_connection_recently_failed
fastmod '\bLIVE_PEER_DURATION\b' MIN_PEER_RECONNECTION_DELAY
```
* Use `Instant::elapsed` for conciseness
Instead of `Instant::now().saturating_duration_since`. They're both
equivalent, and `elapsed` only panics if the `Instant` is somehow
synthetically generated.
* Allow `Duration32` to be created in other crates
Export the `Duration32` from the `zebra_chain::serialization` module.
* Add some new `Duration32` constructors
Create some helper `const` constructors to make it easy to create
constant durations. Add methods to create a `Duration32` from seconds,
minutes and hours.
* Avoid gossiping unreachable peers
When sanitizing the list of peers to gossip, remove those that we
haven't seen in more than three hours.
* Test if unreachable addresses aren't gossiped
Create a property test with random addreses inserted into an
`AddressBook`, and verify that the sanitized list of addresses does not
contain any addresses considered unreachable.
* Test if new alternate address isn't gossipable
Create a new alternate peer, because that type of `MetaAddr` does not
have `last_response` or `untrusted_last_seen` times. Verify that the
peer is not considered gossipable.
* Test if local listener is gossipable
The `MetaAddr` representing the local peer's listening address should
always be considered gossipable.
* Test if gossiped peer recently seen is gossipable
Create a `MetaAddr` representing a gossiped peer that was reported to be
seen recently. Check that the peer is considered gossipable.
* Test peer reportedly last seen in the future
Create a `MetaAddr` representing a peer gossiped and reported to have
been last seen in a time that's in the future. Check that the peer is
considered gossipable, to check that the fallback calculation is working
as intended.
* Test gossiped peer reportedly seen long ago
Create a `MetaAddr` representing a gossiped peer that was reported to
last have been seen a long time ago. Check that the peer is not
considered gossipable.
* Test if just responded peer is gossipable
Create a `MetaAddr` representing a peer that has just responded and
check that it is considered gossipable.
* Test if recently responded peer is gossipable
Create a `MetaAddr` representing a peer that last responded within the
duration a peer is considered reachable. Verify that the peer is
considered gossipable.
* Test peer that responded long ago isn't gossipable
Create a `MetaAddr` representing a peer that last responded outside the
duration a peer is considered reachable. Verify that the peer is not
considered gossipable.
* Gossip dynamically allocated listener ports to peers
Previously, Zebra would either gossip port `0`, which is invalid, or skip
gossiping its own dynamically allocated listener port.
* Improve "no configured peers" warning
And downgrade from error to warning, because inbound-only nodes are a
valid use case.
* Move random_known_port to zebra-test
* Add tests for dynamic local listener ports and the AddressBook

* Always send our local listener with the latest time
Previously, whenever there was an inbound request for peers, we would
clone the address book and update it with the local listener.
This had two impacts:
- the listener could conflict with an existing entry,
rather than unconditionally replacing it, and
- the listener was briefly included in the address book metrics.
As a side-effect, this change also makes sanitization slightly faster,
because it avoids some useless peer filtering and sorting.
* Skip listeners that are not valid for outbound connections
* Filter sanitized addresses Zebra based on address state
This fix correctly prevents Zebra gossiping client addresses to peers,
but still keeps the client in the address book to avoid reconnections.
* Add a full set of DateTime32 and Duration32 calculation methods
* Refactor sanitize to use the new DateTime32/Duration32 methods
* Security: Use canonical SocketAddrs to avoid duplicate connections
If we allow multiple variants for each peer address, we can make multiple
connections to that peer.
Also make sure sanitized MetaAddrs are valid for outbound connections.
* Test that address books contain the local listener address

* Security: Limit reconnection rate to individual peers
Reconnection Rate
Limit the reconnection rate to each individual peer by applying the
liveness cutoff to the attempt, responded, and failure time fields.
If any field is recent, the peer is skipped.
The new liveness cutoff skips any peers that have recently been attempted
or failed. (Previously, the liveness check was only applied if the peer
was in the `Responded` state, which could lead to repeated retries of
`Failed` peers, particularly in small address books.)
Reconnection Order
Zebra prefers more useful peer states, then the earliest attempted,
failed, and responded times, then the most recent gossiped last seen
times.
Before this change, Zebra took the most recent time in all the peer time
fields, and used that time for liveness and ordering. This led to
confusion between trusted and untrusted data, and success and failure
times.
Unlike the previous order, the new order:
- tries all peers in each state, before re-trying any peer in that state,
and
- only checks the the gossiped untrusted last seen time
if all other times are equal.
* Preserve the later time if changes arrive out of order
* Update CandidateSet::next documentation
* Update CandidateSet state diagram
* Fix variant names in comments
* Explain why timestamps can be left out of MetaAddrChanges
* Add a simple test for the individual peer retry limit
* Only generate valid Arbitrary PeerServices values
* Add an individual peer retry limit AddressBook and CandidateSet test
* Stop deleting recently live addresses from the address book
If we delete recently live addresses from the address book, we can get a
new entry for them, and reconnect too rapidly.
* Rename functions to match similar tokio API
* Fix docs for service sorting
* Clarify a comment
* Cleanup a variable and comments
* Remove blank lines in the CandidateSet state diagram
* Add a multi-peer proptest that checks outbound attempt fairness
* Fix a comment typo

* Security: stop gossiping failure and attempt times as last_seen times
Previously, Zebra had a single time field for peer addresses, which was
updated every time a peer was attempted, sent a message, or failed.
This is a security issue, because the `last_seen` time should be
"the last time [a peer] connected to that node", so that
"nodes can use the time field to avoid relaying old 'addr' messages".
So Zebra was sending incorrect peer information to other nodes.
As part of this change, we split the `last_seen` time into the
following fields:
- untrusted_last_seen: gossiped from other peers
- last_response: time we got a response from a directly connected peer
- last_attempt: time we attempted to connect to a peer
- last_failure: time a connection with a peer failed
* Implement Arbitrary and strategies for MetaAddrChange
Also replace the MetaAddr Arbitrary impl with a derive.
* Write proptests for MetaAddr and MetaAddrChange
MetaAddr:
- the only times that get included in serialized MetaAddrs are
the untrusted last seen and responded times
MetaAddrChange:
- the untrusted last seen time is never updated
- the services are only updated if there has been a handshake
When peers ask for peer addresses, add our local listener address to the
set of addresses, sanitize, then truncate. Sanitize shuffles addresses,
so if there are lots of addresses in the address book, our address will
only be sent to some peers.
- stop putting inbound addresses in the address book
- drop address book entries that can't be used for outbound connections
- distinguish between temporary inbound and permanent outbound peer
addresses
- also create variants to handle proxy connections
(but don't use them yet)
- avoid tracking connection state for isolated connections
- document security constraints for the address book and peer set
`sanitize` could be misused in two ways:
* accidentally modifying the addresses in the address book itself
* forgetting to sanitize new fields added to `MetaAddr`
This change prevents accidental modification by taking `&self`, and
explicitly creates a new sanitized `MetaAddr` with all fields listed.
Design:
- Add a `PeerAddrState` to each `MetaAddr`
- Use a single peer set for all peers, regardless of state
- Implement time-based liveness as an `AddressBook` method, rather than
a `PeerAddrState` variant
- Delete `AddressBook.by_state`
Implementation:
- Simplify `AddressBook` changes using `update` and `take` modifier
methods
- Simplify the `AddressBook` iterator implementation, replacing it with
methods that are more obviously correct
- Consistently collect peer set metrics
Documentation:
- Expand and update the peer set documentation
We can optimise later, but for now we want simple code that is more
obviously correct.
* network: move gossiped peer selection logic into address book.
* network: return BoxService from init.
* zebrad: add note on why we truncate thegossiped peer list

* Remove unused .rustfmt.toml
Many of these options are never actually loaded by our CI because of a channel
mismatch, where they're not applied on stable but only on nightly (see the logs
from a rustfmt job). This means that we can get different settings when
running `cargo fmt` on the nightly and stable channels, which was causing a CI
failure on this PR. Reverting back to the default rustfmt settings avoids this
problem and keeps us in line with upstream rustfmt. There's no loss to us
since we were using the defaults anyways.

The previous implementation failed when timestamps were duplicated between
peers, because there was not a 1-1 relationship between timestamps and peers.
The disconnected_peers() function allows us to prevent duplicate
connections without maintaining shared state between the peerset and the
dial-additional-peers task.
This allows us to hide the `TimestampCollector` and to expose only the
address book data required by the inbound request service. It also lets
us have a common data structure (the `AddressBook`) for collecting peer
information that can be used to manage information that other peers
report to us.
