Prefer QUIC for WAN connections #8626

Description

@bt90

This is a bit of a long shot and depends on the performance of future quic-go releases but QUIC already tends to perform better on high latency connections:

Seems like quic-go v0.30.0 already comes with a bunch of performance improvements and batch writing is scheduled for v0.31.0.

Once quic-go is able to saturate a gigabit link, we should change the priority for WAN connections.

As for LAN i don't see any benefits because packetloss and latency is not an issue here.
