Parse a libp2p style "multiaddress" into it's distinct protocol
segments where each segment:
segments where each segment is of the form:
`../<protocol>/<param0>/<param1>/../<paramN>`
is loaded into a layers `dict[str, dict[str, Any]` which holds
each prot segment of the path as a separate entry sortable by
it's approx OSI "layer number".
and is loaded into a (order preserving) `layers: dict[str,
dict[str, Any]` which holds each protocol-layer-segment of the
original `str` path as a separate entry according to its approx
OSI "layer number".
Any `paramN` in the path must be distinctly defined in order
according to the (global) `prot_params` table in this module.
Any `paramN` in the path must be distinctly defined by a str-token in the
(module global) `prot_params` table.
For eg. for wireguard which requires an address, port number and publickey
the protocol params are specified as the entry:
'wg': ('addr', 'port', 'pubkey'),
and are thus parsed from a maddr in that order:
`'/wg/1.1.1.1/51820/<pubkey>'`
