Feature/implement poa processing (#748) * re-shuffled Clique functions why: Due to the port from the go-sources, the interface logic is not optimal for nimbus. The main visible function is currently snapshot() and most of the _procurement_ of this function result has been moved to a sub-directory. * run eip-225 Clique test against p2p/chain.persistBlocks() why: Previously, loading the test block chains was fugdged with the purpose only to fill the database. As it is now clear how nimbus works on Goerli, the same can be achieved with a more realistic scenario. details: Eventually these tests will be pre-cursor to the reply tests for the Goerli chain supporting TDD approach with more simple cases. * fix exception annotations for executor module why: needed for exception tracking details: main annoyance are vmState methods (in state.nim) which potentially throw a base level Exception (a proc would only throws CatchableError) * split p2p/chain into sub-modules and fix exception annotations why: make space for implementing PoA stuff * provide over-loadable Clique PRNG why: There is a PRNG provided for generating reproducible number sequences. The functions which employ the PRNG to generate time slots were ported ported from the go-implementation. They are currently unused. * implement trusted signer assembly in p2p/chain.persistBlocks() details: * PoA processing moved there at the end of a transaction. Currently, there is no action (eg. transaction rollback) if this fails. * The unit tests with staged blocks work ok. In particular, there should be tests with to-be-rejected blocks. * TODO: 1.Optimise throughput/cache handling; 2.Verify headers * fix statement cast in pool.nim * added table features to LRU cache why: Clique uses the LRU cache using a mixture of volatile online items from the LRU cache and database checkpoints for hard synchronisation. For performance, Clique needs more table like features. details: First, last, and query key added, as well as efficient random delete added. Also key-item pair iterator added for debugging. * re-factored LRU snapshot caching why: Caching was sub-optimal (aka. bonkers) in that it skipped over memory caches in many cases and so mostly rebuild the snapshot from the last on-disk checkpoint. details; The LRU snapshot toValue() handler has been moved into the module clique_snapshot. This is for the fact that toValue() is not supposed to see the whole LRU cache database. So there must be a higher layer working with the the whole LRU cache and the on-disk checkpoint database. also: some clean up todo: The code still assumes that the block headers are valid in itself. This is particular important when an epoch header (aka re-sync header) is processed as it must contain the PoA result of all previous headers. So blocks need to be verified when they come in before used for PoA processing. * fix some snapshot cache fringe cases why: Must not index empty sequences in clique_snapshot module

Tracing: Remove some trace messages that occur a lot during sync Disable some trace messages which appeared a lot in the output and probably aren't so useful any more, when block processing is functioning well at high speed. Turning on the trace level globally is useful to get a feel for what's happening, but only if each category is kept to a reasonable amount. As well as overwhelming the output so that it's hard to see general activity, some of these messages happen so much they severely slow down processing. Ones called every time an EVM opcode uses some gas are particularly extreme. These messages have all been chosen as things which are probably not useful any more (the relevant functionality has been debugged and is tested plenty). These have been commented out rather than removed. It may be that turning trace topics on/off, or other selection, is a better longer term solution, but that will require better command line options and good defaults for sure. (I think higher levels `tracev` and `tracevv` levels (extra verbose) would be more useful for this sort of deep tracing on request.) For now, enabling `--log-level:TRACE` on the command line is quite useful as long as we keep each category reasonable, and this patch tries to keep that balance. - Don't show "has transactions" on virtually every block imported. - Don't show "Sender" and "txHash" lines on every transaction processed. - Don't show "GAS CONSUMPTION" on every opcode executed", this is way too much. - Don't show "GAS RETURNED" and "GAS REFUND" on each contract call. - Don't show "op: Stop" on every Stop opcode, which means every transaction. - Don't show "Insufficient funds" whenever a contract can't call another. - Don't show "ECRecover", "SHA256 precompile", "RIPEMD160", "Identity" or even "Call precompile" every time a precompile is called. These are very well tested now. - Don't show "executeOpcodes error" whenever a contract returns an error. (This is changed to `trace` too, it's a normal event that is well tested.)

In particular, there should be tests with to-be-rejected blocks. * TODO: 1.Optimise throughput/cache handling; 2.Verify headers * fix statement cast in pool.nim * added table features to LRU cache why: Clique uses the LRU cache using a mixture of volatile online items from the LRU cache and database checkpoints for hard synchronisation. For performance, Clique needs more table like features. details: First, last, and query key added, as well as efficient random delete added. Also key-item pair iterator added for debugging. * re-factored LRU snapshot caching why: Caching was sub-optimal (aka. bonkers) in that it skipped over memory caches in many cases and so mostly rebuild the snapshot from the last on-disk checkpoint. details; The LRU snapshot toValue() handler has been moved into the module clique_snapshot. This is for the fact that toValue() is not supposed to see the whole LRU cache database. So there must be a higher layer working with the the whole LRU cache and the on-disk checkpoint database. also: some clean up todo: The code still assumes that the block headers are valid in itself. This is particular important when an epoch header (aka re-sync header) is processed as it must contain the PoA result of all previous headers. So blocks need to be verified when they come in before used for PoA processing. * fix some snapshot cache fringe cases why: Must not index empty sequences in clique_snapshot module

They are currently unused. * implement trusted signer assembly in p2p/chain.persistBlocks() details: * PoA processing moved there at the end of a transaction. Currently, there is no action (eg. transaction rollback) if this fails. * The unit tests with staged blocks work ok. In particular, there should be tests with to-be-rejected blocks. * TODO: 1.Optimise throughput/cache handling; 2.Verify headers * fix statement cast in pool.nim * added table features to LRU cache why: Clique uses the LRU cache using a mixture of volatile online items from the LRU cache and database checkpoints for hard synchronisation. For performance, Clique needs more table like features. details: First, last, and query key added, as well as efficient random delete added. Also key-item pair iterator added for debugging. * re-factored LRU snapshot caching why: Caching was sub-optimal (aka. bonkers) in that it skipped over memory caches in many cases and so mostly rebuild the snapshot from the last on-disk checkpoint. details; The LRU snapshot toValue() handler has been moved into the module clique_snapshot. This is for the fact that toValue() is not supposed to see the whole LRU cache database. So there must be a higher layer working with the the whole LRU cache and the on-disk checkpoint database. also: some clean up todo: The code still assumes that the block headers are valid in itself. This is particular important when an epoch header (aka re-sync header) is processed as it must contain the PoA result of all previous headers. So blocks need to be verified when they come in before used for PoA processing. * fix some snapshot cache fringe cases why: Must not index empty sequences in clique_snapshot module
