Don't treat 3 characters as special in `cmp`. `cmp` for `ProtocolInfo` was
wrong because it ignored all characters after the first 3.
In the wild we have seen protocol names longer than 3 characters. `snap`,
`hive`, `istanbul`, `bzzeth`, `bzz-stream`, `bzz-retrieve`, `dbix`, `opera`,
`pchain`, `pchain_child_0`, `sero`, `smilobft`, `spock`.
There was never a 3 character limit in the [specification]
(https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/rlpx.md).
It always said "short ASCII name", until recently on 2021-02-25 it was changed
to an 8 characters limit.
Also `pi.nameStr` can be removed. Nothing uses it, and it has the same actual
effect as just copying the string `pi.name`.

For a long time this caused invalid RLP parsing of `NewBlock` messages in the
`eth` protocol.
The `rlpInline` pragma was accepted but had no effect. We could implemented
it, but it doesn't seem worth doing, with tests etc, as there's only one user
which has been fixed another way.
With `NewBlock`, whenever a peer sent us `NewBlock`, we'd get an RLP decoding
error, and disconnected the peer thinking it was the peer's error.
These messages are sent often by good peers, so whenever we connected to a
really good peer, we'd end up disconnecting within a minute due to this. This
went unnoticed for years, as we stayed connected to old peers which have no new
blocks, and we weren't looking at peer quality, disconnect reasons or real-time
blockchain updates anyway.

`les_protocol.nim` failed to build, due to very silly Nim bugs

The silly part is `../` has to be quoted if it's before a group of files, but
not before a single file. Most places in PR #344 / 7624153 use the workaround
`".."/` but it was missed in `les_protocol.nim`:

When using discv4 (Kademlia) to find peers, there is a crash after a few
minutes. It occurs for most of us on Eth1 mainnet, and everyone on Ropsten.
The cause is `findNodes` being called twice in succession to the same peer,
within about 5 seconds of each other. ("About" 5 seconds, because Chronos does
not guarantee to run the timeout branch at a particular time, due to queuing
and clock reading delays.)
Then `findNodes` sends a duplicate message to the peer and calls
`waitNeighbours` to listen for the reply. There's already a `waitNeighbours`
callback in a shared table, so that function hits an assert failure.
Ignoring the assert would be wrong as it would break timeout logic, and sending
`FindNodes` twice in rapid succession also makes us a bad peer.
As a simple workaround, just skip `findNodes` in this state and return a fake
empty `Neighbours` reply. This is a bit of a hack as `findNodes` should not be
called like this; there's a logic error at a higher level. But it works.
Tested for about 4 days constant operation on Ropsten. The crash which occured
every few minutes no longer occurs, and discv4 keeps working.

* Add search for best route and refactor setupNat to setupAddress
* Update setupAddress and make enr ports in discovery optional
* Add specific error log when no route is found
* Use bindIP if it is public
* Adjust some log levels
This query proc is similar to the original (faulty) lookup proc.
But as we don't need to look for specific targets, it can be
used still as it gives a quicker and broader search resulting
in more nodes.
