Improve transport connection errors (sigp#4540)

## Issue Addressed

sigp#4538 

## Proposed Changes

add newtype wrapper around DialError that extracts error messages and logs them in a more readable format

## Additional Info

I was able to test Transport Dial Errors in the situation where a libp2p instance attempts to ping a nonexistent peer. That error message should look something like

`A transport level error has ocurred: Connection refused (os error 61)`

AgeManning mentioned we should try fetching only the most inner error (in situations where theres a nested error). I took a stab at implementing that

For non transport DialErrors, I wrote out the error messages explicitly (as per the docs). Could potentially clean things up here if thats not necessary
