Add a libp2p rate limiting behavior #1677

Since we can't be overly strict on our reputation checks for mempool gossip, we should implement a p2p rate limiter which applies equally to all gossipped transactions.

I think we need a little clarification here.

I understand that gossiped transactions will sometimes fail for non-malicious reasons. This means that we shouldn't punish the nodes that broadcast those transactions. This seems to be an alternative to punishing those nodes while still keeping the network somewhat secure.

I'm just having a hard time understanding the sentence:

What does "equally" mean here, for example.
