[p2p] prevent dialing of private ips (#4286)

* [p2p] fix: prevent dialing of private ips

The original feature (erroneously) prevents only querying of the private
IPs. This change prevents dialing private IPs altogether when the flag
is activated.

* [p2p] do not return `nil` gater
* [p2p] remove query filter
It was overriden by connection gater

* [p2p] add test to check gater non blocking
