* purge_old_snapshot_archives is changed to take an extra argument 'maximum_snapshots_to_retain' to control the max number of latest snapshot archives to retain. Note the oldest snapshot is always retained as before and is not subjected to this new options.
* The validator and ledger-tool executables are modified with a CLI argument --maximum-snapshots-to-retain. And the options are propagated down the call chains. Their corresponding shell scripts were changed accordingly.
* SnapshotConfig is modified to have an extra field for the maximum_snapshots_to_retain
* Unit tests are developed to cover purge_old_snapshot_archives
* Require that blockstore block-time only be recognized slot, instead of root
* Move cache_block_time to after Bank freeze
* Single use statement
* Pass transaction_status_sender by reference
* Remove unnecessary slot-existence check before caching block time altogether
* Move block-time existence check into Blockstore::cache_block_time, Blockstore no longer needed in blockstore_processor helper
* Add ledger-tool for restoring roots to the Roots CF
* Print successful repair data, and repair in chunks
* Add parameter to limit num slots checked for root repair
* Plumb allow-dead-slots to ledger-tool verify
* ledger-tool cleanup and add some useful missing args
Print root slots and how many unrooted past last root.
* Simpler cap by including sysvars and native programs
* Fix tests
* Add comment
* revert some unrelated code
* Update test_bank_update_sysvar_account for cap.
* Test cap. for add_native_program using new helper
* Improve the cap adjustment with new tests
* Fix typo...
* Adjust test for improved code coverage
* Rename simpler_capitalization => simple_capitalization
* More rename and bonus commenting
Gossip and other places repeatedly de-serialize vote-state stored in
vote accounts. Ideally the first de-serialization should cache the
result.
This commit adds new VoteAccount type which lazily de-serializes
VoteState from Account data and caches the result internally.
Serialize and Deserialize traits are manually implemented to match
existing code. So, despite changes to frozen_abi, this commit should be
backward compatible.
