When the sync loop first runs it suppresses block sync events both in
the initial loop and when the blocks being processed are greater than
1000.
This fix removed the first check, because otherwise the first block
received by the process ends up not getting sent to the tx pool. Which
means it won't produce new block for polygon.
As well as this fix - I have also moved the gas initialization to the
txpool start method rather than prompting it with a 'synthetic block
event'
As the txpool start has access to the core & tx DB's it can find the
current block and chain config internally so that it doesn't need to be
externally activated it can just do this itself on start up. This has
the advantage of making the txpool more self contained.
This PR contains 3 fixes for interaction between the Bor mining loop and
the TX pool which where causing the regular creation of blocks with zero
transactions.
* Mining/Tx pool block synchronization
The synchronization of the tx pool between the sync loop and the mining
loop has been changed so that both are triggered by the same event and
synchronized via a sync.Cond rather than a polling loop with a hard
coded loop limit. This means that mining now waits for the pool to be
updated from the previous block before it starts the mining process.
* Txpool Startup consolidated into its MainLoop
Previously the tx pool start process was dynamically triggered at
various points in the code. This has all now been moved to the start of
the main loop. This is necessary to avoid a timing hole which can leave
the mining loop hanging waiting for a previously block broadcast which
it missed due to its delay start.
* Mining listens for block broadcast to avoid duplicate mining
operations
The mining loop for bor has a recommit timer in case blocks re not
produced on time. However in the case of sprint transitions where the
seal publication is delayed this can lead to duplicate block production.
This is suppressed by introducing a `waiting` state which is exited upon
the block being broadcast from the sealing operation.
Some peer-review changes from the last related PR.
Addition of a flag for BlobSlots - for max allowed blobs per account in
txpool.
Use BlobFee from the block to validate txs in the pool.

This is the beginning of the series of changes to make it possible to
run multiple instances of erigon inside a single process (as devnet tool
does), with the logging from these processes going to respective log
files correctly.
This is the first part where the initial infrastructure is being
established

it would appear that an extra `e` was added somewhere along the way to
the cli flags for txpool. If this was intentional I was curious as to
why, otherwise it seems like fixing the flag would remedy some
confusion. Thank you
Upon further investigation it would appear
https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/blob/devel/cmd/utils/flags.go#L173
shows corrected spelling.
- lives in internal/logging
- all log flags moved to internal/logging/flags
- allows continued use of root logger via log.Info etc.
- update logger to take change allowing string to lvl for 'trace'
Verbosity flag is overridden by log.console.verbosity. Logs will be
colocated if all run as one process, only split where progs are run as
separate processes, in a future update this will be addressed so for
example rpcdeamon will always log to it's own file
