Description

According to the multiaddr spec, /wss is deprecated, see https://github.com/multiformats/multiaddr/blob/master/protocols.csv#L33.

We should reflect this in the code such that downstream users can upgrade accordingly. I'd suggest we mark it as #[deprecated] first, do a point release and remove it in 0.19.

Start by locating the /wss protocol definition and compare it with the multiaddr spec entry in protocols.csv. Mark the existing API as deprecated for the point release, and verify that the planned removal target is documented for version 0.19.
