I have added:
```go
{
ID: stages.BorHeimdall,
Description: "Download Bor-specific data from Heimdall",
Forward: func(firstCycle bool, badBlockUnwind bool, s *StageState, u Unwinder, tx kv.RwTx, logger log.Logger) error {
if badBlockUnwind {
return nil
}
return BorHeimdallForward(s, u, ctx, tx, borHeimdallCfg, true, logger)
},
Unwind: func(firstCycle bool, u *UnwindState, s *StageState, tx kv.RwTx, logger log.Logger) error {
return BorHeimdallUnwind(u, ctx, s, tx, borHeimdallCfg)
},
Prune: func(firstCycle bool, p *PruneState, tx kv.RwTx, logger log.Logger) error {
return BorHeimdallPrune(p, ctx, tx, borHeimdallCfg)
},
},
```
To MiningStages as well as Default as otherwise bor events are not added
when the block producer creates new blocks.
There are a couple of questions I have around this implementation:
* Is this the right place to add this
* As the state is also executed when the default stage is processed ther
is some duplicate processing for the block producing node.
* There is a duplicated call to heimdall which could be removed if the
stages share state - but its not clear if we want to do this.
* I don't think the mining stage needs to prune as this will be
replicated in the default iteration
This can be tested using the devnet with the following arguments:
```
--chain bor-devnet --bor.localheimdall --scenarios state-sync
```
This will generate sync events via an ethereum devnet which are
transmitted to bor chain and will be executed at the end of the snapshot
delay, which results in events generated from the bor chain. This tests
the whole sync, block generation, event lifecycle. As it needs to wait
for sprints to end after a sufficient delay it is quite slow to run.
The current logic is flawed, because it drops all peers that are less
synced.
It is valid to return empty responses by the eth spec.
A proper logic should penalize from the context of the sync process,
where enough "reputation" data is collected about a peer.
In order to be able to connect to erigon 2.48 peers that have
--sentry.drop-useless-peers enabled,
this adds a check to not reply with an empty headers list.
If we reply with an empty list, we're going to be considered useless and
kicked.
Once enough of erigon nodes are updated in the network past this commit,
this check should be removed,
because it is totally acceptable to return an empty list by the eth
spec.
Currently PropagateNewBlockHashes and BroadcastNewBlock
selects a subset of all sentries by taking a `Sqrt(len(sentries))`,
and then for each sentry SendMessageToRandomPeers
selects a subset of its peers by taking `Sqrt(len(peerInfos))`.
This behaviour limits the broadcast scope with a lot of peers, e.g. 100
becomes 10,
but is not great with very few peers, or if the message is very
important
to broadcast to everyone, which is the case of bor validator/proposer
nodes.
* send to all sentries in both BroadcastNewBlock and PropagateNewBlockHashes
* remove peerCountConstrained sqrt logic in SendMessageToRandomPeers
* add maxPeers provider func as a parameter to MultiClient
* default it to 10 for eth and 0 (unlimited) for bor validators

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.
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.

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
- allow store non-canonical blocks/senders
- optimize re-org: don't update/delete most of data
- allow mark chain as `Bad` - will be not visible by eth_getBlockByHash,
but can read if have hash+num
