When running the import, currently blocks are loaded in batches into a
`seq` then passed to the importer as such.
In reality, blocks are still processed one by one, so the batching does
not offer any performance advantage. It does however require that the
client wastes memory, up to several GB, on the block sequence while
they're waiting to be processed.
This PR introduces a persister that accepts these potentially large
blocks one by one and at the same time removes a number of redundant /
unnecessary copies, assignments and resets that were slowing down the
import process in general.
* Fix eth/common & web3 related deprecation warnings for fluffy
This commit uses the new types in the new eth/common/ structure
to remove deprecation warnings.
It is however more than just a mass replace as also all places
where eth/common or eth/common/eth_types or eth/common/eth_types_rlp
got imported have been revised and adjusted to a better per submodule
based import.
There are still a bunch of toMDigest deprecation warnings but that
convertor is not needed for fluffy code anymore so in theory it
should not be used (bug?). It seems to still get imported via export
leaks ffrom imported nimbus code I think.
* Address review comments
* Remove two more unused eth/common imports
This is a minimal set of changes to make things work with the new types
in nim-eth - this is the minimal PR that merely resolves
incompatibilities while the full change set would include more cleanup
and migration.
- EpochAccumulator got renamed to EpochRecord
- MasterAccumulator is not HistoricalHashesAccumulator
- The List size for the accumulator got a different maximum which
also result in a different encoding and HTR
* Bump nim-eth, nim-web3, nimbus-eth2
- Replace std.Option with results.Opt
- Fields name changes
* More fixes
* Fix Portal stream async raises and portal testnet Opt usage
* Bump eth + nimbus-eth2 + more fixes related to eth_types changes
* Fix in utp test app and nimbus-eth2 bump
* Fix test_blockchain_json rebase conflict
* Fix EVMC block_timestamp conversion plus commentary

This PR consolidates the split header-body sequences into a single EthBlock
sequence and cleans up the fallout from that which significantly reduces
block processing overhead during import thanks to less garbage collection
and fewer copies of things all around.
Notably, since the number of headers must always match the number of bodies,
we also get rid of a pointless degree of freedom that in the future could
introduce unnecessary bugs.
* only read header and body from era file
* avoid several unnecessary copies along the block processing way
* simplify signatures, cleaning up unused arguemnts and returns
* use `stew/assign2` in a few strategic places where the generated
nim assignent is slow and add a few `move` to work around poor
analysis in nim 1.6 (will need to be revisited for 2.0)
