## GossipSub v1.2 implementation
Specification: libp2p/specs#548
### Work Summary
Sending IDONTWANT
Implement a smart queue
Add priorities to the smart queue
Put IDONTWANT packets into the smart priority queue as soon as the node gets the packets
Handling IDONTWANT
Use a map to remember the message ids whose IDONTWANT packets have been received
Implement max_idontwant_messages (ignore the IDONWANT packets if the max is reached)
Clear the message IDs from the cache after 3 heartbeats
Hash the message IDs before putting them into the cache.
More requested features
Add a feature test to not send IDONTWANT if the other side doesnt support it
### Commit Summary
* Replace sending channel with the smart rpcQueue
Since we want to implement a priority queue later, we need to replace
the normal sending channels with the new smart structures first.
* Implement UrgentPush in the smart rpcQueue
UrgentPush allows you to push an rpc packet to the front of the queue so
that it will be popped out fast.
* Add IDONTWANT to rpc.proto and trace.proto
* Send IDONTWANT right before validation step
Most importantly, this commit adds a new method called PreValidation to
the interface PubSubRouter, which will be called right before validating
the gossipsub message.
In GossipSubRouter, PreValidation will send the IDONTWANT controll
messages to all the mesh peers of the topics of the received messages.
* Test GossipSub IDONWANT sending
* Send IDONWANT only for large messages
* Handle IDONTWANT control messages
When receiving IDONTWANTs, the host should remember the message ids
contained in IDONTWANTs using a hash map.
When receiving messages with those ids, it shouldn't forward them to the
peers who already sent the IDONTWANTs.
When the maximum number of IDONTWANTs is reached for any particular
peer, the host should ignore any excessive IDONTWANTs from that peer.
* Clear expired message IDs from the IDONTWANT cache
If the messages IDs received from IDONTWANTs are older than 3
heartbeats, they should be removed from the IDONTWANT cache.
* Keep the hashes of IDONTWANT message ids instead
Rather than keeping the raw message ids, keep their hashes instead to
save memory and protect again memory DoS attacks.
* Increase GossipSubMaxIHaveMessages to 1000
* fixup! Clear expired message IDs from the IDONTWANT cache
* Not send IDONTWANT if the receiver doesn't support
* fixup! Replace sending channel with the smart rpcQueue
* Not use pointers in rpcQueue
* Simply rcpQueue by using only one mutex
* Check ctx error in rpc sending worker
