// CertifiedAddrBook manages "self-certified" addresses for remote peers.
// Self-certified addresses are contained in peer.PeerRecords
// which are wrapped in a record.Envelope and signed by the peer
// to whom they belong.
//
// Certified addresses (CA) are generally more secure than uncertified
// addresses (UA). Consequently, CAs beat and displace UAs. When the
// peerstore learns CAs for a peer, it will reject UAs for the same peer
// (as long as the former haven't expired).
// Furthermore, peer records act like sequenced snapshots of CAs. Therefore,
// processing a peer record that's newer than the last one seen overwrites
// all addresses with the incoming ones.
//
// This interface is most useful when combined with AddrBook.
// To test whether a given AddrBook / Peerstore implementation supports
// certified addresses, callers should use the GetCertifiedAddrBook helper or
// type-assert on the CertifiedAddrBook interface:
//
//     if cab, ok := aPeerstore.(CertifiedAddrBook); ok {
//         cab.ConsumePeerRecord(signedPeerRecord, aTTL)
//     }

	// a record.Envelope), which will expire after the given TTL.
	//
	// The 'accepted' return value indicates that the record was successfully processed
	// and integrated into the CertifiedAddrBook state. If 'accepted' is false but no
	// error is returned, it means that the record was ignored, most likely because
	// a newer record exists for the same peer.
	//
	// Signed records added via this method will be stored without
	// alteration as long as the address TTLs remain valid. The Envelopes
	// containing the PeerRecords can be retrieved by calling GetPeerRecord(peerID).
	//
	// If the signed PeerRecord belongs to a peer that already has certified
	// addresses in the CertifiedAddrBook, the new addresses will replace the
	// older ones, if the new record has a higher sequence number than the
	// existing record. Attempting to add a peer record with a
	// sequence number that's <= an existing record for the same peer will not
	// result in an error, but the record will be ignored, and the 'accepted'
	// bool return value will be false.
	//
	// If the CertifiedAddrBook is also an AddrBook (which is most likely the case),
	// adding certified addresses for a peer will *replace* any
	// existing non-certified addresses for that peer, and only the certified
	// addresses will be returned from AddrBook.Addrs thereafter.
	//
	// Likewise, once certified addresses have been added for a given peer,
	// any non-certified addresses added via AddrBook.AddAddrs or
	// AddrBook.SetAddrs will be ignored. AddrBook.SetAddrs may still be used
	// to update the TTL of certified addresses that have previously been
