Task List
Improve DST test node

Description
DST uses this node to do regression testing on each libp2p release. DST team has suggested that we collaborate in the refactoring of the node to allow custom test scenarios via specifying arguments/flags:
- Choose the multiplexer to use without having to recompile
- Number of nodes to connect to
- Message Ratio
- Message Weight
- Connection parameters (currently all nodes try to connect to other N nodes)
- External script for message injection instead of cron job
