although they are technically different, but in reality,
many networks are using the same id for ChainId dan NetworkId.
in this commit, we set networkid from config file's chainId.
- allow clique period and epoch to be configured via config file
- this also activate poaEngine mode
- remove clique period configuration from cli to reduce confusion

fixes#771
* Provide API
details:
API is bundled via clique.nim.
* Set extraValidation as default for PoA chains
why:
This triggers consensus verification and an update of the list
of authorised signers. These signers are integral part of the
PoA block chain.
todo:
Option argument to control validation for the nimbus binary.
* Fix snapshot state block number
why:
Using sub-sequence here, so the len() function was wrong.
* Optional start where block verification begins
why:
Can speed up time building loading initial parts of block chain. For
PoA, this allows to prove & test that authorised signers can be
(correctly) calculated starting at any point on the block chain.
todo:
On Goerli around blocks #193537..#197568, processing time increases
disproportionally -- needs to be understand
* For Clique test, get old grouping back (7 transactions per log entry)
why:
Forgot to change back after troubleshooting
* Fix field/function/module-name misunderstanding
why:
Make compilation work
* Use eth_types.blockHash() rather than utils.hash() in Clique modules
why:
Prefer lib module
* Dissolve snapshot_misc.nim
details:
.. into clique_verify.nim (the other source file clique_unused.nim
is inactive)
* Hide unused AsyncLock in Clique descriptor
details:
Unused here but was part of the Go reference implementation
* Remove fakeDiff flag from Clique descriptor
details:
This flag was a kludge in the Go reference implementation used for the
canonical tests. The tests have been adapted so there is no need for
the fakeDiff flag and its implementation.
* Not observing minimum distance from epoch sync point
why:
For compiling PoA state, the go implementation will walk back to the
epoch header with at least 90000 blocks apart from the current header
in the absence of other synchronisation points.
Here just the nearest epoch header is used. The assumption is that all
the checkpoints before have been vetted already regardless of the
current branch.
details:
The behaviour of using the nearest vs the minimum distance epoch is
controlled by a flag and can be changed at run time.
* Analysing processing time (patch adds some debugging/visualisation support)
why:
At the first half million blocks of the Goerli replay, blocks on the
interval #194854..#196224 take exceptionally long to process, but not
due to PoA processing.
details:
It turns out that much time is spent in p2p/excecutor.processBlock()
where the elapsed transaction execution time is significantly greater
for many of these blocks.
Between the 1371 blocks #194854..#196224 there are 223 blocks with more
than 1/2 seconds execution time whereas there are only 4 such blocks
before and 13 such after this range up to #504192.
* fix debugging symbol in clique_desc (causes CI failing)
* Fixing canonical reference tests
why:
Two errors were introduced earlier but ovelooked:
1. "Remove fakeDiff flag .." patch was incomplete
2. "Not observing minimum distance .." introduced problem w/tests 23/24
details:
Fixing 2. needed to revert the behaviour by setting the
applySnapsMinBacklog flag for the Clique descriptor. Also a new
test was added to lock the new behaviour.
* Remove cruft
why:
Clique/PoA processing was intended to take place somewhere in
executor/process_block.processBlock() but was decided later to run
from chain/persist_block.persistBlock() instead.
* Update API comment
* ditto
This preparation is needed for subsequent
EIPs included in London.
- Add London to Fork enum
- Block number to fork
- Parsing London fork in chain config
- Prepare gas costs table for London
- Prepare EVM opcode dispatcher for London
- Block rewards for London
- Prepare hive script for London
File `vm_types2` is obsolete. Remove this file and divert all imports to the
common forks list outside the EVM, or in some cases they don't need it anyway.

This is the main patch which removes Whisper code from `nimbus-eth1` code.
It removes all configuration, help, startup, JSON-RPC calls and most types.
Note, there is still Whisper functionality in `nim-eth`. Also, the "wrapper"
under `wrappers/` isn't dealt with by this change, but it's not built by
default (and might not currently work).
Signed-off-by: Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org>
This commit turns Whisper off by default, without changing anything else.
So this can be cherry-picked if you just want to disable Whisper without
removing it.

instead of using stdlib/json, now we switch to json_serialization
the result is much tidier code and more robust when parsing
optional fields.
fixes#635
the `processArguments` now have overloaded proc, one with opt param and one without.
the OptParser now can be passed to `opt` param.
this is useful in scenario where in test code we need to simulate something
without using real command line arguments.
rather than initialize it to 0, those block numbers
are initialized to high(BlockNumber). this will fix
issue when imported genesis.json doesn't contains all
forks' blockNumber.
Capitalisation:
- The option is lower case `--logmetrics` but help said `--logMetrics`
- Same for `--logmetricsiterval`
- Same for `--metricsserver` and `--metricsserverport`
Ethereum network selection:
- Moved out into their own, cleaner help section
- Added help for `--mainnet`, `--goerli` and `--kovan`
- Moved `--networkid` and `--customnetwork` to this section as well
Other:
- Reworded or formatted some help lines for clarity and consistency
Changed options:
- Renamed `--metricserver` to `--metrics`
- Renamed `--matricsserverport` to `--metricsport`
- Removed Morden network; this didn't have an option, but could be
selected with `--networkid:2` and then fail to work

See https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2468
also fixes pcre linking for real, and adds some random build flags that
help nimbus-eth2 stay afloat
* fix help
* don't omit frame pointers on windows
* bump vendor/nimbus-build-system
- add the Nim compiler header to the Nimbus header
- also support the USE_LIBBACKTRACE env var
* "go-checks" target no longer available
- moved "nimbus/api" to "wrappers"
- renamed files
- replaced the build scripts with Makefile targets
- set the rpath relative to the test binary's location so it can look
for libnimbus.so there at runtime
- libnimbus.so.0 required on Linux, apparently
- compiled all the Nimbus code with `--app:lib`, not just one file (this
required skipping a proc in "nimbus/config.nim" because it uses an API
that's unavailable in libraries)
- removed static linking from the Go wrapper. It doesn't make sense at a
global level, when using a shared Nimbus library. To selectively link
static libraries, we should probably be specifying them as *.a. I did
build a static libnimbus.a, as a test, but it insisted on dlopen-ing a
shared version of itself which looked too ugly to continue.
- dynamically generated copyright year interval
- added the db backend to the header
- documented the db-backend-changing define, made it case insensitive
and ensured wrong values would trigger compilation errors
- skipped the tests in allowedFailInCurrentBuild()
- replaced doAssert() with check() in testFixtureIndexes() so we can see
both hash values on failure
- checking filename extension for JSON tests to avoid editor swap files
- replaced the duplicated block values in the main net's ChainConfig
with values from forkBlocks
- allowed overriding the current fork in computations, because the old
strategy of only looking at the block number doesn't work with JSON tests
where the block number is usually 1
- explicitly pass the fork to gasCosts() and use it for conditional cost
calculation
- fixed a logic error in the CREATE opcode
- fixed VM selection based on current fork in updateOpcodeExec()
- single point of control for supported forks in tests (just one fork, at the
moment)
- 44 new test failures (that were probably passing for the wrong reasons)
By default, the database files will be written in the
platform-specific application data folder:
