Description

Depends on: https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/issues/416

Given more information about our observed addresses, we can try removing addresses observed from outbound connections once we start getting confirmations from inbound connections.

Research direction

Start by reading issue 416 and the observed-address handling in go-libp2p, then review the related go-libp2p-autonat project for how inbound confirmations are represented. Done means outbound-observed addresses are removed once inbound connections confirm the reachable address, with the behavior covered by the relevant tests.
