This fixes 2 related issues:
* Now that the bor consensus engine is required for queries it can't be
created based on the pretense of a db directory, but must be based on
chain config read from the db. Using the DB presence causes Bor to get
instantiated for non bor chains which breaks.
* At the moment eth_calls on a remote daemon don't check Bor headers
prior to calling the EVM code as it was just using a fake ETHash
instance - which performs ETH header validation only.
The current version is mostly working but needs adapting to perform lazy
initialization of the engine.
System contract upgrades for Polygon are already handled by the
`BlockAlloc` logic and there's no need to duplicate it with the
`CalcuttaBlock` logic (there's no Calcutta in
https://github.com/maticnetwork/bor).
As per [EIP-1559](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1559) , there is
only initial base fee after which it adjusts automatically. There are no
current references to a minimum protocol base fee on Ethereum, Gnosis or
Polygon.
The existing code would put a 7 wei minimum limit on transactions to be
included in the pool. This PR removes this check within txPool. Any
transaction can now be added to the `queued` sub-pool after which it
could get promoted to `pending` or `baseFee` subpools.
The`pricelimit` flag still exists and acts on non-local transactions as
a minimum feeCap for inclusion.
This introduces _experimental_ block execution run by embedded Silkworm
API library:
- new command-line option `silkworm.path` to enable the feature by
specifying the path to the Silkworm library
- the Silkworm API shared library is dynamically loaded on-demand
- currently requires to build Silkworm library on the target machine
- available only on Linux at the moment: macOS has issue with [stack
size](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/28024) and Windows would
require [TDM-GCC-64](https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/), both need
dedicated effort for an assessment
Closes#8078
This change is primarily intended to support go 1.21, but as a
side-effect requires updating libp2p, which in turn triggers an update
of golang.org/x/exp which creates quite a bit of (simple) churn in the
slice sorting.
This change introduces a new `cmp.Compare` function which can be used to
return an integer satisfying the compare interface for slice sorting.
In order to continue to support mplex for libp2p, the change references
github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-mplex instead. Please see the PR at
https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/pull/2498 for the official usptream
comment that indicates official support for mplex being moved to this
location.

This is to fix an issue with resource usage if the db.size.limit is
increased from its default setting of 2TB. This is applied to the chain
DB, but should not be used on the consensus DB which has smaller data
requirements. Expanding both DBs results in excessive RAM being reserved
by the underlying OS.
