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.

This PR does the following things:
- Updates the hardfork number of the upcoming Indore hardfork schedule
at block 36877056.
- Refactoring to `CommitStates` method of bor consensus
- Fixes a bug in triggering mining
This PR includes changes required for delhi hard fork schedule at block
`29638656` on mumbai testnet. It changes few major parameters.
1. Sprint length - the number of bor blocks post which a new validator
mines has been reduced from 64 to 16.
2. Block time - the block time which was increased earlier for some
experiments to 5 seconds has been reduced to 2 seconds (along with
backup multiplier and producer delay).
3. Base fee denominator - this fields has been increased from 8 to 16 to
smoothen the effect of EIP 1559.
