* implement inbound `FindBlocks`
* Handle inbound peer FindHeaders requests
* handle request before having any chain tip
* Split `find_chain_hashes` into smaller functions
Add a `max_len` argument to support `FindHeaders` requests.
Rewrite the hash collection code to use heights, so we can handle the
`stop` hash and "no intersection" cases correctly.
* Split state height functions into "any chain" and "best chain"
* Rename the best chain block method to `best_block`
* Move fmt utilities to zebra_chain::fmt
* Summarise Debug for some Message variants

This commit changes the state system and database format to track the
provenance of UTXOs, in addition to the outputs themselves.
Specifically, it tracks the following additional metadata:
- the height at which the UTXO was created;
- whether or not the UTXO was created from a coinbase transaction or
not.
This metadata will allow us to:
- check the coinbase maturity consensus rule;
- check the coinbase inputs => no transparent outputs rule;
- implement lookup of transactions by utxo (using the height to find the
block and then scanning the block) for a future RPC mechanism.
Closes#1342
This change introduces two new types:
- `PreparedBlock`, representing a block which has undergone semantic
validation and has been prepared for contextual validation;
- `FinalizedBlock`, representing a block which is ready to be finalized
immediately;
and changes the `Request::CommitBlock`,`Request::CommitFinalizedBlock`
variants to use these types instead of their previous fields.
This change solves the problem of passing data between semantic
validation and contextual validation, and cleans up the state code by
allowing it to pass around a bundle of data. Previously, the state code
just passed around an `Arc<Block>`, which forced it to needlessly
recompute block hashes and other data, and was incompatible with the
already-known but not-yet-implemented data transfer requirements, namely
passing in the Sprout and Sapling anchors computed during contextual
validation.
This commit propagates the `PreparedBlock` and `FinalizedBlock` types
through the state code but only uses their data opportunistically, e.g.,
changing .hash() computations to use the precomputed hash. In the
future, these structures can be extended to pass data through the
verification pipeline for reuse as appropriate. For instance, these
changes allow the sprout and sapling anchors to be propagated through
the state.
