Description

Similar to the [js-ipfs profiles](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/bf1bc8b18d750d5591bdd575a6d0f4c067d61d0a/docs/CONFIG.md?plain=1#L39) we should have different profiles in the https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p/blob/master/doc/CONFIGURATION.md docs that outline how a user can potentially configure their nodes for different scenarios. Some examples could be:

- node
- browser
- LAN network e.g. for mDNS
