fix(iroh-net): use try_send rather than send so we dont block the…

… local swarm discovery service (#2794)

## Description

Using `subscriber.send().await` could block the entire discovery service
if one of the subscribers polls too slow. Change to `try_send` that will
drop the discovery item from that stream if it is closed.

## Notes & open questions

Added a line in the documentation to mention that if you do not poll
enough, you may miss messages.

## Change checklist

- [x] Self-review.
- [x] Documentation updates following the [style
guide](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1574-more-api-documentation-conventions.html#appendix-a-full-conventions-text),
if relevant.
