This request implements the insertion of Bor ephemeral transactions into
snapshot indexes.
I does this by taking the block hash from the header index and passing
it to the transaction indexer to add an additional index entry per block
into the transaction hash -> block index.
The passed entries are currently contained in an in memory array which
is (32 * number of blocks / sprint size) bytes.
In addition to the functional code there is also an update to the
`dump_test.go` so that it runs `DumpBlocks` to exercise the indexing
code. To facilitate this the `InsertChain` method in `mock_sentry` has
been modified so that it can process >128 blocks.
The code in this request also includes additional bor/consensus code
with the following functions:
`CalculateSprint`
`CalculateSprintCount`
The first function is a modification of the code in erigon-lib so that
the sprints are numerically rather than lexically ordered. This code
should be migrated to erigon-lib and should have its sprint set
calculated once from its underlying map rather than this process being
repeated every calculation.
