Let candidate peers be passed to diameter:call/4
To solve the problem of being able to send messages to a peer that hasn't advertised support for the application in question, as discussed in the parent commit. diameter:call/4 can be passed 'peer' options to identify candidates, and the only requirement is that an appropriate dictionary be configured for encode. Filters are applied as if candidates had been selected by advertised application.
