This commit introduces a new concept called `NotificationService` which
allows Polkadot protocols to communicate with the underlying
notification protocol implementation directly, without routing events
through `NetworkWorker`. This implies that each protocol has its own
service which it uses to communicate with remote peers and that each
`NotificationService` is unique with respect to the underlying
notification protocol, meaning `NotificationService` for the transaction
protocol can only be used to send and receive transaction-related
notifications.
The `NotificationService` concept introduces two additional benefits:
* allow protocols to start using custom handshakes
* allow protocols to accept/reject inbound peers
Previously the validation of inbound connections was solely the
responsibility of `ProtocolController`. This caused issues with light
peers and `SyncingEngine` as `ProtocolController` would accept more
peers than `SyncingEngine` could accept which caused peers to have
differing views of their own states. `SyncingEngine` would reject excess
peers but these rejections were not properly communicated to those peers
causing them to assume that they were accepted.
With `NotificationService`, the local handshake is not sent to remote
peer if peer is rejected which allows it to detect that it was rejected.
This commit also deprecates the use of `NetworkEventStream` for all
notification-related events and going forward only DHT events are
provided through `NetworkEventStream`. If protocols wish to follow each
other's events, they must introduce additional abtractions, as is done
for GRANDPA and transactions protocols by following the syncing protocol
through `SyncEventStream`.

* Move service tests to `client/network/tests`
These tests depend on `sc-network` and `sc-network-sync` so they should
live outside the crate.
* Move some configs from `sc-network-common` to `sc-network`
* Move `NetworkService` traits to `sc-network`
* Move request-responses to `sc-network`
* Remove more stuff
* Remove rest of configs from `sc-network-common` to `sc-network`
* Remove more stuff
* Fix warnings
* Update client/network/src/request_responses.rs
