This adds the ability to have multiple concurrent connections to a single device. This is primarily useful when the network has multiple physical links for aggregated bandwidth. A single connection will never see a higher rate than a single link can give, but multiple connections are load-balanced over multiple links.
It is also incidentally useful for older multi-core CPUs, where bandwidth could be limited by the TLS performance of a single CPU core -- using multiple connections achieves concurrency in the required crypto calculations...

This makes the various protocol priorities configurable among the other
options. With this, it's possible to prefer QUIC over TCP for WAN
connections, for example. Both sides need to be similarly configured for
this to work properly.
The default priority order remains the same as previously (TCP, QUIC,
Relay, with LAN better than WAN).
To make this happen I made each dialer & listener more priority aware,
and moved the check for whether a connection is LAN or not into the
dialer / listener -- this is the new "lanChecker" type that's passed
around.
This adds a statistic to track the last connection duration per device.
It isn't used for much in this PR, but it's available for #7223 to use
in deciding how to order device connection attempts (deprioritizing
devices that just dropped our connection the last time).
This does two things:
- Exclude QUIC from go1.16 builds, automatically, for now, since it
doesn't work and just panics.
- Provide some fake listeners and dialers when QUIC is disabled.
These fake listeners and dialers indicate that they are disabled and
unsupported, which silences "Dialing $address: unknown address scheme:
quic" type of stuff which is not super helpful to the user.
The QUIC package is notorious for being incompatible with either too
old or too new Go releases. Currently it doesn't build with Go 1.15 RC
and I want to test the rest with Go 1.15. With this I can do `go run
build.go --tags noquic` to do that.
