This commit updates geth to 1.8.17 and adds a possibility to enable metrics during compilation time.
The cascade of issues forced us to upgrade geth to 1.8.17 in order to allow enabling metrics during compilation time. 1.8.17 introduced `NodeID` refactoring and `enode` package which affected our peers pool and integration with Discovery V5.
* Update to geth v1.8.14
* Remove patches that were merged upstream
* Apply patches before 0016
* Fix 0016 and apply it
* Apply everything else
* Pass gas limit as a second argument to simulated backend
Update vendor
Integrate rendezvous into status node
Add a test with failover using rendezvous
Use multiple servers in client
Use discovery V5 by default and test that node can be started with rendezvous discovet
Fix linter
Update rendezvous client to one with instrumented stream
Address feedback
Fix test with updated topic limits
Apply several suggestions
Change log to debug for request errors because we continue execution
Remove web3js after rebase
Update rendezvous package
This change adds adds an ability to use different source of time for whisper:
when envelope is created it is used to set expiry
to track when envelope needs to be expired
This time is then used to check validity of the envelope when it is received. Currently If we receive an envelope that is sent from future - peer will get disconnected. If envelope that was received has an expiry less then now it will be simply dropped, if expiry is less than now + 10*2 seconds peer will get dropped.
So, it is clear that whisper depends on time. And any time we get a skew with peers that is > 20s reliability will be grealy reduced.
In this change another source of time for whisper will be used. This time source will use ntp servers from pool.ntp.org to compute offset. When whisper queries time - this offset will be added/substracted from current time.
Query is executed every 2 mins, queries 5 different servers, cut offs min and max and the computes mean value. pool.ntp.org is resolved to different servers and according to documentation you will rarely hit the same.
