While reviewing PR #18565, as issue was brought up to refactor some code
around verifying the bank after rebuilding from snapshots. A new
top-level function has been added to get the latest snapshot archives
and load the bank then verify. Additionally, new tests have been
written and existing tests have been updated to use this new function.
Fixes#18973
While resolving the issue, it became clear there was some additional
low-hanging fruit this change enabled. Specifically, the functions
`bank_to_xxx_snapshot_archive()` now return their respective
`SnapshotArchiveInfo`. And on the flip side,
`bank_from_snapshot_archives()` now takes `SnapshotArchiveInfo`s instead
of separate paths and archive formats. This bundling simplifies bank
rebuilding.
This commit also renames `snapshot_interval_slots` to
`full_snapshot_archive_interval_slots`, updates the comments on the
fields, and make appropriate updates where SnapshotConfig is used.
This is the first installment of the AccountsDb replication. Summary of Changes:
The rpc-node for AccountsDb replication executable cherry-picked from Steven's branch
Auto figuring out the snapshot to download via gossip
The replica now can download the snapshot, initialize the bank and AccountsDb, start the JsonRpcService
Integration test of a validator paired with a replica.
