This change introduces additional processes to manage snapshot uploading
for E2 snapshots:
## erigon snapshots upload
The `snapshots uploader` command starts a version of erigon customized
for uploading snapshot files to
a remote location.
It breaks the stage execution process after the senders stage and then
uses the snapshot stage to send
uploaded headers, bodies and (in the case of polygon) bor spans and
events to snapshot files. Because
this process avoids execution in run signifigantly faster than a
standard erigon configuration.
The uploader uses rclone to send seedable (100K or 500K blocks) to a
remote storage location specified
in the rclone config file.
The **uploader** is configured to minimize disk usage by doing the
following:
* It removes snapshots once they are loaded
* It aggressively prunes the database once entities are transferred to
snapshots
in addition to this it has the following performance related features:
* maximizes the workers allocated to snapshot processing to improve
throughput
* Can be started from scratch by downloading the latest snapshots from
the remote location to seed processing
## snapshots command
Is a stand alone command for managing remote snapshots it has the
following sub commands
* **cmp** - compare snapshots
* **copy** - copy snapshots
* **verify** - verify snapshots
* **manifest** - manage the manifest file in the root of remote snapshot
locations
* **torrent** - manage snapshot torrent files
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

this first major move separates the transient beacon state cache from
the underlying tree.
leaf updates are enforced in the setters, which should make programming
easier.
all exported methods of the raw.BeaconState should be safe to call
(without disrupting internal state)
changes many functions to consume *raw.BeaconState in perparation for
interface
beyond refactor it also:
adds a pool for the leaves of the validator ssz hash
adds a pool for the snappy writers
removed the parallel hash experiment (high memory use)
- Added new requests for sending raw transactions
- Made provisions for other types of transactions generated, including
contracts
- Modified the models and services to accommodate general values
