how to ban client ? #927

hello, dear author~~ thank you very much for your contribution to the ecosystem with your code. Not just the torrent library, but also bargle and others are really user-friendly.

I've encountered a problem this time. You might be aware of the recent incidents with dt clients and other vampire clients like xunlei. How can I ban these clients through code? Specifically, their identifiers like xl, dt, etc., which have caused me a lot of trouble.

Ideally I think something should be exposed in https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/anacrolix/torrent#Callbacks to allow you to intercept after the handshake and decide if you want to proceed with the peer connection.

There is an IPBlocklist in https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/anacrolix/torrent#ClientConfig. Per my recommendations elsewhere, this is also a good place to start.
