Prepare snap server client test scenario (#1483)
* Enable `snap/1` accounts range service

* Allow to change the garbage collector to `boehm` as a Makefile option.

why:
  There is still an unsolved memory corruption problem that might be
  related to the standard `gc`. It seemingly goes away if the `gc` is
  changed to `boehm`.

  Specifying another `gc` on the make level simplifies debugging and
  development.

* Code cosmetics

details:
* updated exception annotations
* extracted `worker_desc.nim` from `full/worker.nim`
* etc.

* Implement option to state a sync modifier file

why:
  This allows to specify extra sync type specific options which might
  change over time. This file is regularly checked for updates.

* Implement a threshold when to suspend full syncing

why:
  For a test scenario, a full sync beep may work as a local snap server.
  There is no need to download the full block chain.

details:
  The file containing the pivot specs is specified by the
  `--sync-ctrl-file` option. It is regularly parsed for updates.

  to nim 1.6

* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 4, sync

details:
  Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
  to nim 1.6

External beacon stream tracker (#1433)
* Register external beacon stream header

why:
  This will be used to sync the peers against.

* Update total coverage book-keeping for 100% roll-over

details:
  Provide commonly available/used function

* Replace best pivot by beacon stream tracker

details:
  Beacon stream header cache will be updated by external chain monitor via
  RPC. This cached header will then be used to sync the pivot.

Snap sync tweaks n fixes (#1359)
* Miscellaneous tweaks & fixes

details:
+ Catch `TransportError` exception in `legacy.nim` module
+ Fix self-calling wrapper `hexaryEnvelopeTouchedBy()`

* Update documentation, logging etc.

* Changed `checkNode` batch list `seq[Blob]` => `seq[NodeSpecs]`

why:
  The `NodeSpecs` type as used here is a tuple `(partial-path,node-key)`.

  When `checkNode` partial paths are collected, also the node key is
  available so it should be registered and not repeatedly recovered from
  the database.

* Add optional begin/end trace statement in snap scheduler

why:
  Allows to trace invoked entity and scheduler state variables

Snap sync can start on saved checkpoint (#1327)
* Stop negotiating pivot if peer repeatedly replies w/usesless answers

why:
  There is some fringe condition where a peer replies with legit but
  useless empty headers repetely. This goes on until somebody stops.
  We stop now.

* Rename `missingNodes` => `sickSubTries`

why:
  These (probably missing) nodes represent in reality fully or partially
  missing sub-tries. The top nodes may even exist, e.g. as a shallow
  sub-trie.

also:
  Keep track of account healing on/of by bool variable `accountsHealing`
  controlled in `pivot_helper.execSnapSyncAction()`

* Add `nimbus` option argument `snapCtx` for starting snap recovery (if any)

also:
+ Trigger the recovery (or similar) process from inside the global peer
  worker initialisation `worker.setup()` and not by the `snap.start()`
  function.
+ Have `runPool()` returned a `bool` code to indicate early stop to
  scheduler.

* Can import partial snap sync checkpoint at start

details:
 + Modified what is stored with the checkpoint in `snapdb_pivot.nim`
 + Will be loaded within `runDaemon()` if activated

* Forgot to import total coverage range

why:
  Only the top (or latest) pivot needs coverage but the total coverage
  is the list of all ranges for all pivots -- simply forgotten.

Update sync scheduler (#1297)
* Add `stop()` methods to shutdown to shutdown procedure

why:
  Nasty behaviour when hitting Ctrl-C, otherwise

* Add background service to sync scheduler

why:
  The background service will be used for sync data import and recovery
  after restart.

   It is controlled by the sync scheduler for an easy turn/on off API.

also:
  Simplified snap ticker time calc.

* Fix typo

Fix/clarify single mode for async sync scheduler (#1292)
why:
  Single mode here means there is only such (single mode) instance
  activated but multi mode instances for other peers are allowed.

  Erroneously, multi mode instances were held back waiting while some
  single mode instance was running which reduced the number of parallel
  download peers.

Prep for full sync after snap make 5 (#1286)
* Update docu and logging

* Extracted and updated constants from `worker_desc` into separate file

* Update and re-calibrate communication error handling

* Allow simplified pivot negotiation

why:
  This feature allows to turn off pivot negotiation so that peers agree
  on a a pivot header.

  For snap sync with fast changing pivots this only throttles the sync
  process. The finally downloaded DB snapshot is typically a merged
  version of different pivot states augmented by a healing process.

* Re-model worker queues for accounts download & healing

why:
  Currently there is only one data fetch per download or healing task.
  This task is then repeated by the scheduler after a short time. In
  many cases, this short time seems enough for some peers to decide to
  terminate connection.

* Update main task batch `runMulti()`

details:
  The function `runMulti()` is activated in quasi-parallel mode by the
  scheduler. This function calls the download, healing and fast-sync
  functions.

  While in debug mode, after each set of jobs run by this function the
  database is analysed (by the `snapdb_check` module) and the result
  printed.

Prettify logging for snap sync environment (#1278)
* Multiple storage batches at a time

why:
  Previously only some small portion was processed at a time so the peer
  might have gone when the process was resumed at a later time

* Renamed some field of snap/1 protocol response object

why:
  Documented as `slots` is in reality a per-account list of slot lists. So
  the new name `slotLists` better reflects the nature of the beast.

* Some minor healing re-arrangements for storage slot tries

why;
  Resolving all complete inherited slots tries first in sync mode keeps
  the worker queues smaller which improves logging.

* Prettify logging, comments update etc.

Remodel persistent snapdb access (#1274)
* Re-model persistent database access

why:
  Storage slots healing just run on the wrong sub-trie (i.e. the wrong
  key mapping). So get/put and bulk functions now use the definitions
  in `snapdb_desc` (earlier there were some shortcuts for `get()`.)

* Fixes: missing return code, typo, redundant imports etc.

* Remove obsolete debugging directives from `worker_desc` module

* Correct failing unit tests for storage slots trie inspection

why:
  Some pathological cases for the extended tests do not produce any
  hexary trie data. This is rightly detected by the trie inspection
  and the result checks needed to adjusted.

Prep for full sync after snap make 3 (#1270)
* For snap sync, publish `EthWireRef` in sync descriptor

why:
  currently used for noise control

* Detect and reuse existing storage slots

* Provide healing module for storage slots

* Update statistic ticker (adding range factor for unprocessed storage)

* Complete mere function for work item ranges

why:
  Merging interval into existing partial item was missing

* Show av storage queue lengths in ticker

detail;
  Previous attempt shows average completeness which did not tell much

* Correct the meaning of the storage counter (per pivot)

detail:
  Is the # accounts that have a storage saved

Isolating sync action modules (#1249)
* Miscellaneous updates TBC

* Disentangled pivot2 module from snap

why:
  Wrote as template on top of sync so it can be shared by fast and snap
  sync.

* Renamed and relocated pivot sources

* Integrated `best_pivot` module into full and snap sync

why:
  Full sync used an older version of `best_pivot`

* isolating download module from full sync

why;
  might be shared with snap sync at a later stage

Snap sync accounts healing (#1225)
* 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

Update snap offline tests (#1199)
* 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.

Snap accounts bulk import preparer (#1183)
* Provided common scheduler API, applied to `full` sync

* Use hexary trie as storage for proofs_db records

also:
 + Store metadata with account for keeping track of account state
 + add iterator over accounts

* Common scheduler API applied to `snap` sync

* Prepare for accounts bulk import

details:
+ Added some ad-hoc checks for proving accounts data received from the
  snap/1 (will be replaced by proper database version when ready)
+ Added code that dumps some of the received snap/1 data into a file
  (turned of by default, see `worker_desc.nim`)
