* Document the new genesis transaction consensus rule
Zebra previously implemented this rule, but we documented it as a bug in
`zcashd`.
* Document the actual behaviour of zs_insert
* add nullifier methods to orchard
* store orchard nullifiers
* bump database version
* update `IntoDisk`
* support V5 in `UpdateWith`
* add a test for finalized state
* Use the latest network upgrade in state proptests
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
## Motivation
Prior to this PR we've been using `sled` as our database for storing persistent chain data on the disk between boots. We picked sled over rocksdb to minimize our c++ dependencies despite it being a less mature codebase. The theory was if it worked well enough we'd prefer to have a pure rust codebase, but if we ever ran into problems we knew we could easily swap it out with rocksdb.
Well, we ran into problems. Sled's memory usage was particularly high, and it seemed to be leaking memory. On top of all that, the performance for writes was pretty poor, causing us to become bottle-necked on sled instead of the network.
## Solution
This PR replaces `sled` with `rocksdb`. We've seen a 10x improvement in memory usage out of the box, no more leaking, and much better write performance. With this change writing chain data to disk is no longer a limiting factor in how quickly we can sync the chain.
