We should have a set of peers (configurable size) that we store in memory, as main peers. These can be used to send bitswap requests to, as well as improve general connectivity.

@mxinden any thoughts/preferences on doing this internal to rust-libp2p vs external? Any plans on reviving sth like an AddressBook again?
