Closes#8078
This change is primarily intended to support go 1.21, but as a
side-effect requires updating libp2p, which in turn triggers an update
of golang.org/x/exp which creates quite a bit of (simple) churn in the
slice sorting.
This change introduces a new `cmp.Compare` function which can be used to
return an integer satisfying the compare interface for slice sorting.
In order to continue to support mplex for libp2p, the change references
github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-mplex instead. Please see the PR at
https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/pull/2498 for the official usptream
comment that indicates official support for mplex being moved to this
location.
