Fork choice and metadata framework for Engine (#8401)
* Add light client TODO item * Move existing total-difficulty-based fork choice check to Engine * Abstract total difficulty and block provider as Machine::BlockMetadata and Machine::BlockProvider * Decouple "generate_metadata" logic to Engine * Use fixed BlockMetadata and BlockProvider type for null and instantseal In this way they can use total difficulty fork choice check * Extend blockdetails with metadatas and finalized info * Extra data update: mark_finalized and update_metadatas * Check finalized block in Blockchain * Fix a test constructor in verification mod * Add total difficulty trait * Fix type import * Db migration to V13 with metadata column * Address grumbles * metadatas -> metadata * Use generic type for update_metadata to avoid passing HashMap all around * Remove metadata in blockdetails * [WIP] Implement a generic metadata architecture * [WIP] Metadata insertion logic in BlockChain * typo: Value -> Self::Value * [WIP] Temporarily remove Engine::is_new_best interface So that we don't have too many type errors. * [WIP] Fix more type errors * [WIP] ExtendedHeader::PartialEq * [WIP] Change metadata type Option<Vec<u8>> to Vec<u8> * [WIP] Remove Metadata Error * [WIP] Clean up error conversion * [WIP] finalized -> is_finalized * [WIP] Mark all fields in ExtrasInsert as pub * [WIP] Remove unused import * [WIP] Keep only local metadata info * Mark metadata as optional * [WIP] Revert metadata db change in BlockChain * [WIP] Put finalization in unclosed state * Use metadata interface in BlockDetail * [WIP] Fix current build failures * [WIP] Remove unused blockmetadata struct * Remove DB migration info * [WIP] Typo * Use ExtendedHeader to implement fork choice check * Implement is_new_best using Ancestry iterator * Use expect instead of panic * [WIP] Add ancestry Engine support via on_new_block * Fix tests * Emission of ancestry actions * use_short_version should take account of metadata * Engine::is_new_best -> Engine::fork_choice * Use proper expect format as defined in #1026 * panic -> expect * ancestry_header -> ancestry_with_metadata * Boxed iterator -> &mut iterator * Fix tests * is_new_best -> primitive_fork_choice * Document how fork_choice works * Engine::fork_choice -> Engine::primitive_fork_choice * comment: clarify types of finalization where Engine::primitive_fork_choice works * Expose FinalizationInfo to Engine * Fix tests due to merging * Remove TotalDifficulty trait * Do not pass FinalizationInfo to Engine If there's finalized blocks in from route, choose the old branch without calling `Engine::fork_choice`. * Fix compile * Fix unused import * Remove is_to_route_finalized When no block reorg passes a finalized block, this variable is always false. * Address format grumbles * Fix docs: mark_finalized returns None if block hash is not found `blockchain` mod does not yet have an Error type, so we still temporarily use None here. * Fix inaccurate tree_route None expect description
