* Added inspect module
why:
Find dangling references for trie healing support.
details:
+ This patch set provides only the inspect module and some unit tests.
+ There are also extensive unit tests which need bulk data from the
`nimbus-eth1-blob` module.
* Alternative pivot finder
why:
Attempt to be faster on start up. Also tying to decouple pivot finder
somehow by providing different mechanisms (this one runs in `single`
mode.)
* Use inspect module for healing
details:
+ After some progress with account and storage data, the inspect facility
is used to find dangling links in the database to be filled nose-wise.
+ This is a crude attempt to cobble together functional elements. The
set up needs to be honed.
* fix scheduler to avoid starting dead peers
why:
Some peers drop out while in `sleepAsync()`. So extra `if` clauses
make sure that this event is detected early.
* Bug fixes causing crashes
details:
+ prettify.toPC():
int/intToStr() numeric range over/underflow
+ hexary_inspect.hexaryInspectPath():
take care of half initialised step with branch but missing index into
branch array
* improve handling of dropped peers in alternaive pivot finder
why:
Strange things may happen while querying data from the network.
Additional checks make sure that the state of other peers is updated
immediately.
* Update trace messages
* reorganise snap fetch & store schedule
In preparation of our migration to the new Nimble-based setup
and [nim-workspace][1], we switch to a new model where the vendor
packages are no longer imported through a locally generated Nimble
dir, but rather through an auto-generated `nimbus-build-system.paths`
file that features regular `--path:` statements.
This file will be imported only within the nimbus-build-system
environment in order to avoid any unwanted interference in working
copies based on the new Nimble setup.

* Fix bug in inCurrentEpoch and improve accumulator related tests
- Fix negative wraparound / underflow in inCurrentEpoch
- Add tests in accumulator tests to verify the above
- Add header offer tests with accumulator that does and doesn't
contain historical epochs
- Additional clean-up of history tests
- enable canonicalVerify in the tests
* Re-implemented `hexaryFollow()` in a more general fashion
details:
+ New name for re-implemented `hexaryFollow()` is `hexaryPath()`
+ Renamed `rTreeFollow()` as `hexaryPath()`
why:
Returning similarly organised structures, the results of the
`hexaryPath()` functions become comparable when running over
the persistent and the in-memory databases.
* Added traversal functionality for persistent ChainDB
* Using `Account` values as re-packed Blob
* Repack samples as compressed data files
* Produce test data
details:
+ Can force pivot state root switch after minimal coverage.
+ For emulating certain network behaviour, downloading accounts stops for
a particular pivot state root if 30% (some static number) coverage is
reached. Following accounts are downloaded for a later pivot state root.
* Bump nim-stew
why:
Need fixed interval set
* Keep track of accumulated account ranges over all state roots
* Added comments and explanations to unit tests
* typo
