Ping RTT benchmarks b/w rnet and libp2p

Did an RTT benchmark comparing my experimental p2p stack rnet vs libp2p rnet → ~220–300μs rust-libp2p → ~130–250μs py-libp2p → ~300–400μs Same machine, loopback libp2p: TCP + Noise + Yamux rnet: TCP + custom security (Deffie-Hellman based key-exchange) + Mplex rnet lagging behind by ~60μs implementation overhead from rust-libp2p rnet: https://github.com/lla-dane/rnet/

Introduced AutoTLS in libp2p(-py)

Extended the TLS security module in libp2p(-py) to fetch CA authorized TLS certificates using the libp2p Auto-TLS client specification, rather than using self-signed ones. This will enable protocol execution via web-transport and browsers for libp2p(-py). PR: https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/pull/1072
