Description

This should be a configuration profile for go-libp2p, maximally a `libp2p.NewMinimalHost` or `libp2p.New(libp2p.MinimalHostOpts...)`. We could avoid code duplication and make sure that go-libp2p supports a wide range of configurations.

We currently use the blankhost for AutoNAT, and probably in a bunch of tests.

Research direction

Start by locating the go-libp2p-blankhost implementation and its uses, especially the AutoNAT code and the tests mentioned in the issue. Read how those callers construct hosts and determine whether the shared configuration profile can replace them without code duplication; done means the blankhost dependency is removed and affected tests still pass.
