litep2p/req-resp: Always provide main protocol name in responses (paritytech#6603)

Request responses are initialized with a main protocol name, and
optional protocol names as a fallback.

Running litep2p in kusama as a validator has surfaced a `debug_asserts`
coming from the sync component:

https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/3906c578c96d97a8a099a4bdac4685acbe375a7c/substrate/client/network/sync/src/strategy/chain_sync.rs#L640-L646

The issue is that we initiate a request-response over the main protocol
name `/genesis/sync/2` but receive a response over the legacy procotol
`ksm/sync/2`. This behavior is correct because litep2p propagates to the
higher levels the protocol that responded.

In contrast, libp2p provides the main protocol name regardless of
negotiating a legacy protocol.

Because of this, higher level components assume that only the main
protocol name will respond.
To not break this assumption, this PR alings litep2p shim layer with the
libp2p behavior.


Closes: paritytech#6581

+      This PR aligns litep2p behavior with libp2p. Previously, litep2p network backend
+      would provide the actual negotiated request-response protocol that produced a
+      response message. After this PR, only the main protocol name is reported to other
+      subsystems.
