During DCUtR, the listener initiates the direct connection (it is called the DCUtR client) attempt and must connect to the other peer as the incoming upgrade direction. Yamux must use this direction to decide on using odd or even stream IDs, not the initial underlying connection direction or socket "direction". It means we need to change the underlying TCP connection direction to Inbound, despite it being a dial.
This is an unusual case where a peer initiates a connection, but should treat it as incoming. The reason is probably that DCUtR happens when the other remote peer dials a peer's relayed address, therefore the original connection was in fact incoming.
