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
- Replace deprecated common.Hex with hexutil.Encode.
- Remove upstreamed 0010-geth-17-fix-npe-in-filter-system.patch.
- Remove upstreamed 0020-discv5-metrics.patch.
- Remove upstreamed 0026-ethdb-error-deadlock.patch.
- Update goleveldb to same version used by geth 1.8.11.
- Update PublicTransactionPoolAPI.GasPrice return type to match type in internal geth interface.
Other changes:
* needed to patch that loop implementation in Discover V5 implementation in go-ethereum,
* fixed TestStatusNodeReconnectStaticPeers,
* fixed TestBackendAccountsConcurrently.
This change makes invalidation mechanism more aggressive. With a primary goal to invalidate short living nodes faster. In current setup any node that became known in terms of discovery will stay in this state until it will fail to respond to 5 queries. Removing them earlier from a table allows to reduce latency for finding required nodes.
The second change, one adds a version for discovery, separates status dht from ethereum dht.
After we rolled out discovery it became obvious that our boot nodes became spammed with irrelevant nodes. And this made discovery process very long, for example with separate dht discovery takes ~2s, with mutual dht - it can take 1m-10m and there is still no guarantee to find a max amount of peers, cause status nodes is a very small part of whole ethereum infra.
In my understanding, we don't need to be a part of ethereum dht, and lower latency is way more important for us.
