because bor doesn't have headers,
ReadCurrentHeader returns nil as expected
refactor isChainPoS to only call ReadCurrentHeader/ReadTd if needed and
use chain config IDs
Miracoulously, hive tests pass first try. YIPPIE.
Also for the future, I added `--experimental.modular` which enables a
secondary engine API for consensus separation.
Now block building is responsibility of the execution module.
This fixes an indexing panic when bor sync event logs are returned via a
subscription.
It applies the same tx computation that is used by the getlogs rpc call
An update to the devnet to introduce a local heimdall to facilitate
multiple validators without the need for an external process, and hence
validator registration/staking etc.
In this initial release only span generation is supported.
It has the following changes:
* Introduction of a local grpc heimdall interface
* Allocation of accounts via a devnet account generator ()
* Introduction on 'Services' for the network config
"--chain bor-devnet --bor.localheimdall" will run a 2 validator network
with a local service
"--chain bor-devnet --bor.withoutheimdall" will sun a single validator
with no heimdall service as before

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.

This PR separates ENGINE from Ethbackend. It makes it so:
1) EthBackend not a god class
2) We can abstract away engine API so that we can make it CL-like and
enable Consensus-Execution driven design
3) Objective is Json-RPC -> Engine Consensus Module -> Execution module.
The fixes here fix a couple of issues related to devnet start-up
1. macos threading and syscall error return where causing multi node
start to both not wait and fail
2. On windows creating DB's with the default 2 TB mapsize causes the os
to reserve about 4GB of committed memory per DB. This may not be used -
but is reserved by the OS - so a default bor node reserves around 10GB
of storage. Starting many nodes causes the OS page file to become
exhausted.
To fix this the consensus DB's now use the node's OpenDatabase function
rather than their own, which means that the consensus DB's take notice
of the config.MdbxDBSizeLimit.
This fix leaves one 4GB committed memory allocation in the TX pool which
needs its own MapSize setting.
