quic on by default but can be turned off by flag and when nodes try to connect, they should try quic first and fallback on peer's tcp address, if any
Before we proceed with testing this in chinese nodes, we are testing in EU. Once we succeed with this, we can move to the next step: Ask node operators from china to help us with deploying more nodes to see the performance. Also we can consider the trusted operator program partners (TOP) to get benefit from them.
Putting the current on hold, because it seems that the QUIC addition did not bring the expected results. https://hackmd.io/tLCzlMIuQCORXPfygngqxg?view
Background: quic transport layer, being based on udp, may bypass certain firewalls of certain countries, plus it brings latency benefits

It's been suggested that running both tcp and quic may be a requirement.
Testing will be in 3 steps.
