Description

In order to safely use the "libp2p" ALPN with TLS connections, we should register it with IANA.

Registration requests should be sent to the mailing list described
in [RFC 8447, Section 17]. If approved, designated experts should
notify IANA within three weeks. For assistance, please contact
iana@iana.org.
