* Update comments & logs
* Do not start beacon sync unless there is possibly something to do
why:
It would continue polling without having any effect other than
logging. Now it will not start unless there is RPC available
or there was a previously interrupted sync to be resumed.
* Accept finalised hash from RPC with the canon header as well
* Reorg internal sync descriptor(s)
details:
Update target from RPC to provide the `consensus header` as well as
the `finalised` block number
why:
Prepare for using `importBlock()` instead of `persistBlocks()`
* Cosmetic updates
details:
+ Collect all pretty printers in `helpers.nim`
+ Remove unused return codes from function prototype
* Use `importBlock()` + `forkChoice()` rather than `persistBlocks()`
* Update logging and metrics
* Update docu
* rename nimbus binary to nimbus_execution_client
* additional replacements
* makefile and dockerfile
* fix ci building errors
* github workflows
* improved Makefile target

* Fix fringe condition clarifying how to handle an empty range
why:
The `interval_set` module would treat an undefined interval construct
`[2,1]` as`[2,2]` (the right bound being `max(2,1)`.)
* Use the `consensus head` rather than the `finalised` block as sync target
why:
The former is ahead of the `finalised` block.
* In ctx descriptor rename `final` field to `target`
* Update docu, rename `F` -> `T`
* bump nimbus-build-system to use Nim v2.0.10
* 2.0.10 fixes
* fluffy linting
* make trivial change which should trigger whole-nimbus+fluffy rebuild/ci
* Nim v2.0.10 chronicles.error/macros.error ambiguity workaround
* another contentType enum specifier
* fluffy linting
* Rename `base` -> `coupler`, `B` -> `C`
why:
Glossary: The jargon `base` is used for the `base state` block number
which can be smaller than what is now the `coupler`.
* Rename `global state` -> `base`, `T` -> `B`
why:
See glossary
* Rename `final` -> `end`, `F` -> `E`
why:
See glossary. Previously, `final` denoted some finalised block but not
`the finalised` block from the glossary (which is maximal.)
* Properly name finalised block as such, rename `Z` -> `F`
why:
See glossary
* Rename `least` -> `dangling`, `L` -> `D`
* Metrics update (variables not covered yet)
* Docu update and corrections
* Logger updates
* Remove obsolete `skeleton*Key` kvt columns from `storage_types` module
* Remove `--sync-mode` option from nimbus config
why:
Currently there is only one sync mode available.
* Rename `flare` -> `beacon`, but not base module folder and nim source
why:
The name `flare` was used do designate an alternative `beacon` mode that.
Leaving the base folder and source as-is for a moment, makes it easier
to read change diffs.
* Rename `flare` base module folder and nim source: `flare` -> `beacon`
* init style for Hash256
https://github.com/status-im/nim-eth/pull/733 updates `Hash256` to
become an array instead of an object - unfortunately, nim does not allow
constructing arrays with `name()`, so this PR changes it to `default`
which works with both.
* lint
* Wiring ForkedChainRef to other components
- Disable majority of hive simulators
- Only enable pyspec_sim for the moment
- The pyspec_sim is using a smaller RPC service wired to ForkedChainRef
- The RPC service will gradually grow
* Addressing PR review
* Fix test_beacon/setup_env
* Enable consensus_sim (#2441)
* Enable consensus_sim
* Remove isFile check
* Enable Engine API jwt auth tests and exchange cap tests
* Enable engine api in build_sim.sh
* Wire ForkedChainRef to Engine API newPayload
* Wire Engine API getBodies to ForkedChainRef
* Wire Engine API api_forkchoice to ForkedChainRef
* Wire more RPC methods to ForkedChainRef
* Implement eth_syncing
* Implement eth_call and eth_getlogs
* TxPool: simplify smartHead
* Fix smartHead usage
* Fix txpool headDiff
* Remove hasBlockHeader and use headerExists
* Addressing review
* Rename `newKvt()` -> `ctx.getKvt()`
why:
Clean up legacy shortcut. Also, the `KVT` returned is not instantiated
but refers to the shared `KVT` that resides in a context which is a
generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx`
retrieves the default context.
* Rename `newTransaction()` -> `ctx.newTransaction()`
why:
Clean up legacy shortcut. The transaction is applied to a context as a
generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx`
retrieves the default context.
* Rename `getColumn(CtGeneric)` -> `getGeneric()`
why:
No more a list of well known sub-tries needed, a single one is enough.
In fact, `getColumn()` did only support a single sub-tree by now.
* Reduce TODO list
* 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

`initTable` is obsolete since nim 0.19 and can introduce significant
memory overhead while providing no benefit (since the table will be
grown to the default initial size on first use anyway).
In particular, aristo layers will not necessarily use all tables they
initialize, for exampe when many empty accounts are being created.
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)

* CoreDb: Remove crufty second/off-site KVT
why:
Was used to allow late `Clique` to store directly to disk
* CoreDb: Remove prune flag related functionality
why:
Is completely legacy stuff
* CoreDb: Remove dependence on legacy API (tests unsupported yet)
why:
Does not fully support Aristo
* Re-factoring `state_db` using new API
details:
Only minimum changes needed to compile `nimbus`
* Update tests and aux modules
* Turn off legacy API and remove `distinct_tries`
comment:
The legacy API has now cruft status, will be removed soon
* Fix copyright years
* Update rpc for verified proxy

This PR extends the `nimbus import` command to also allow reading from
era files - this command allows creating or topping up an existing
database with data coming from era files instead of network sync.
* add `--era1-dir` and `--max-blocks` options to command line
* make `persistBlocks` report basic stats like transactions and gas
* improve error reporting in several API
* allow importing multiple RLP files in one go
* clean up logging options to match nimbus-eth2
* make sure database is closed properly on shutdown
