- Use the new createRpcSigsFromNim for client json-rpc API
- Avoid importing any nimbus/rpc specifics, use only web3 and
fluffy local rpc code
- Adjust tools making use of the client side API
* Add nph check to fluffy CI lint
* Add a section on nph usage in the fluffy.guide
* Update copyright years for altered files
* Avoid chained methods formatting style in db code
* Update nph in CI to v0.5
* Remove leftover commented import
* Move comment to avoid nph turning complex list into simple list (nph bug)
* Update nph in CI to v0.5.1
* Formatting fluffy with nph v0.5.1
* Reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Fluffy and Nimbus proxy
Mostly raises Defect removals, TaintedString removal and some
unnecessary imports.
Also updating the copyright years alongside.
* Further reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Nimbus
* Improvements to the propagation and seeding of data
- Use a lookup for nodes selection in neighborhoodGossip
- Rework populate db code and add `propagateBlockHistoryDb` call
and portal_history__propagateBlock json-rpc call
- Small adjustment to blockwalk
* Avoid storing out-of-range data in the propagate db calls
Currently re-using http connections for the json-rpc requests
seems to slow down the requests considerably. Avoid this by
forcing a close after each requests in the blockwalk tool.
