Description
IoT seems to be a good use-case of libp2p in general, so support should be added for IoT protocols like MQTT. Luckily it already has a path-like addressing syntax, so it could be considered a (restricted) type of path protocol, eg /mqtt/stat/tasmota/POWER. This can then be combined with host resolution protocols, eg /mdns/mqtt.local/tcp/1883/tls/sni/mqtt/stat/tasmota/POWER

Research direction
Start by reviewing the multiaddr protocol and path-addressing design; the issue names no files or tests. Define what restricted MQTT addressing should support, including the /mqtt/stat/tasmota/POWER form and its combination with mDNS, TCP, TLS, and SNI, then add coverage demonstrating those cases.
