After sending the ping and before awaiting the pong, the stream must be flushed to guarantee the data is sent before awaiting the reply. This is not necessary with
libp2p-yamux
where every sent frame is flushed, but with mplex it may remain sitting in a buffer otherwise. This problem was revealed by #1758 together with some other mplex issues addressed in #1769. This PR is on top of #1769 since the tests randomise usage of mplex and yamux and only pass consistently with these patches. For a proper diff (it is small), see here.Together with #1769, closes #1758.
