+ Fix faulty handling of Origin-State-Id and faulty config

+ Fix timing of up/down events.</p>
+ <p>
+ Previously, a call to diameter:call/4 following a peer_up
+ callback might incorrectly return {error, no_connection},
+ depending on timing. Both events now follow the
+ corresponding callbacks.</p>

+ <p>
+ Make diameter:service_info/2 usable in peer_up, peer_down
+ and pick_peer callbacks.</p>
+ <p>
+ Except for in pick_peer when {call_mutates_state, false},
+ it would previously hang indefinitely.</p>

+ Let prepare_request, prepare_retransmit and
+ handle_request callbacks return a function to be invoked
+ on outgoing messages after encode.</p>
+ <p>
+ This allows encoded messages to be logged for example.</p>

+ Add service_opt() 'restrict_connections' to allow
+ multiple transport connections with the same peer.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10443</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add service_opt() 'sequence' to allow the masking of a
+ constant onto the topmost bits of End-to-End and
+ Hop-by-Hop identifiers.</p>
+ <p>
+ This allows the same service on different nodes to use
+ distinct values in outgoing request messages.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10445</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add diameter:service_info(PeerRef) to return the
+ transport_ref() and transport_opt() list of the
+ corresponding transport.</p>
+ <p>
+ This allows easy access to these from diameter_app
+ callbacks that only get peer_ref() as an argument.</p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add transport_opt() 'disconnect_cb' to make the sending
+ of DPR configurable.</p>
+ <p>
+ Whether or not DPR should be sent at application stop,
+ service stop or transport removal is determined by the
+ value returned by the callback, as is the
+ Disconnect-Cause and timeout if DPA is not received.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10493</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add transport_opt() 'capx_timeout' for the timeout
+ associated with non-reception of CER/CEA.</p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Allow a handle_request callback to return a
+ #diameter_packet{}.</p>
+ <p>
+ This allows an answer to set transport_data and header
+ fields.</p>
