Alexandru Vasile b1c9209a6c peer_store: Increase peer ban time until escapes banned threshold (#4031)
This is a tiny PR to increase the time a peer remains banned.

A peer is banned when the reputation drops below a threshold.
With every second, the peer reputation is exponentially decayed towards
zero.

For the previous setup:
- decaying to zero from (i32::MAX or i32::MIN) would take 948 seconds
(15mins 48seconds)
- from i32::MIN to escaping the banned threshold would take 10 seconds
This means we are decaying reputation a bit too aggressive and
misbehaving peers can misbehave again in 10 seconds.
Another side effect of this is that we have encountered multiple
warnings caused by a few misbehaving peers.

In the new setup:
- decaying to zero from (i32::MAX or i32::MIN) would take 3544 seconds
(59 minutes)
- from i32::MIN to escaping the banned threshold would take ~69 seconds

This is a followup of:
- https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4000.

### Testing Done
- Created a misbehaving client with
[subp2p-explorer](https://github.com/lexnv/subp2p-explorer), the client
is banned for approx 69seconds until it is allowed to connect again.

Substrate is a next-generation framework for blockchain innovation 🚀.

Getting Started

Head to docs.substrate.io and follow the installation instructions. Then try out one of the tutorials. Refer to the Docker instructions to quickly run Substrate, Substrate Node Template, Subkey, or to build a chain spec.

Community & Support

Join the highly active and supportive community on the Substrate Stack Exchange to ask questions about use and problems you run into using this software. Please do report bugs and issues here for anything you suspect requires action in the source.

Contributions & Code of Conduct

Please follow the contributions guidelines as outlined in docs/contributor/CONTRIBUTING.md. In all communications and contributions, this project follows the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.

Security

The security policy and procedures can be found in docs/contributor/SECURITY.md.

License

The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.

In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
