This adds the ability to have multiple concurrent connections to a single device. This is primarily useful when the network has multiple physical links for aggregated bandwidth. A single connection will never see a higher rate than a single link can give, but multiple connections are load-balanced over multiple links.
It is also incidentally useful for older multi-core CPUs, where bandwidth could be limited by the TLS performance of a single CPU core -- using multiple connections achieves concurrency in the required crypto calculations...

This makes the various protocol priorities configurable among the other
options. With this, it's possible to prefer QUIC over TCP for WAN
connections, for example. Both sides need to be similarly configured for
this to work properly.
The default priority order remains the same as previously (TCP, QUIC,
Relay, with LAN better than WAN).
To make this happen I made each dialer & listener more priority aware,
and moved the check for whether a connection is LAN or not into the
dialer / listener -- this is the new "lanChecker" type that's passed
around.
This adds a statistic to track the last connection duration per device.
It isn't used for much in this PR, but it's available for #7223 to use
in deciding how to order device connection attempts (deprioritizing
devices that just dropped our connection the last time).
Just an optimization. Required exposing the priority from the factory,
so made that an interface with an extra method instead of just a func
type.

1. Removes separate relay lists and relay clients/services, just makes it a listen address
2. Easier plugging-in of other transports
3. Allows "hot" disabling and enabling NAT services
4. Allows "hot" listen address changes
5. Changes listen address list with a preferable "default" value just like for discovery
6. Debounces global discovery announcements as external addresses change (which it might alot upon starting)
7. Stops this whole "pick other peers relay by latency". This information is no longer available,
but I don't think it matters as most of the time other peer only has one relay.
8. Rename ListenAddress to ListenAddresses, as well as in javascript land.
9. Stop serializing deprecated values to JSON
