added bor tx indexing with tests (#7826)
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.

Sentry - component to

In the root of Erigon project, use this command to build the sentry:

make sentry

There are two modes in which the program can be run - with external p2p sentry, or with internal p2p sentry (also called combined). Ethereum mainnet configuration is currently hard-coded.

Running with an external p2p sentry

./buid/bin/sentry
./buid/bin/sentry --datadir=<sentry_datadir>

The command above specifies --datadir option - directory where the database files will be written (it doesn't need access to Erion's datadir). These two options will need to be specified regardless of the mode the program is run. This specific command above assumes and external p2p sentry running on the same computer listening to the port 9091. In order to use a p2p sentry on a different computer, or a different port (or both), the option --sentry.api.addr can be used. For example:

./buid/bin/sentry --datadir=<sentry1_datadir> --sentry.api.addr=localhost:9091
./buid/bin/sentry --datadir=<sentry2_datadir> --sentry.api.addr=localhost:9191
./build/bin/erigon --sentry.api.addr="localhost:9091,localhost:9191"

The command above will expect the p2p sentry running on the same computer, but on the port 9091

Options --nat, --port, --staticpeers, --netrestrict, --discovery are also available.

We are currently testing against two implementations of the p2p sentry - one internal to Erigon, and another - written in Rust as a part of rust-ethereum: https://github.com/rust-ethereum/sentry In order to run the internal sentry, use the following command:
