* Use vote signer service in fullnode
* Use native types for signature and pubkey, and address other review comments
* Start local vote signer if a remote service address is not provided
* Rebased to master
* Fixes after rebase
* Break out last_ids into its own module
* Boot SignatureNotFound from BankError
* No longer return BankError from LastIds methods
* No longer piggypack on BankError for a LastIds signature status
* Drop all dependencies on the bank
* SignatureStatus -> Status and LastIds -> StatusDeque
* Unstable tests, issue 2193
* Cluster Replicated Data Store
Separate the data storage and merge strategy from the network IO boundary.
Implement an eager push overlay for transporting recent messages.
Simulation shows fast convergence with 20k nodes.
* Added tests to thin client to test VoteContract calls, fix VoteContract sizing errors
* Calculate upper bound on VoteProgram size at runtime, add test for serializing/deserializing a max sized VoteProgram state
* Add Vote Contract
* Move ownership of LeaderScheduler from Fullnode to the bank
* Modified ReplicateStage to consume leader information from bank
* Restart RPC Services in Leader To Validator Transition
* Make VoteContract Context Free
* Remove voting from ClusterInfo and Tpu
* Remove dependency on ActiveValidators in LeaderScheduler
* Switch VoteContract to have two steps 1) Register 2) Vote. Change thin client to create + register a voting account on fullnode startup
* Remove check in leader_to_validator transition for unique references to bank, b/c jsonrpc service and rpcpubsub hold references through jsonhttpserver
* Add PoH height to process_ledger()
* Moved broadcast_stage Leader Scheduling logic to use Poh height instead of entry_height
* Moved LeaderScheduler logic to PoH in ReplicateStage
* Fix Leader scheduling tests to use PoH instead of entry height
* Change is_leader detection in repair() to use PoH instead of entry height
* Add tests to LeaderScheduler for new functionality
* fix Entry::new and genesis block PoH counts
* Moved LeaderScheduler to PoH ticks
* Cleanup to resolve PR comments
* Added LeaderScheduler module and tests
* plumbing for LeaderScheduler in Fullnode + tests. Add vote processing for active set to ReplicateStage and WriteStage
* Add LeaderScheduler plumbing for Tvu, window, and tests
* Fix bank and switch tests to use new LeaderScheduler
* move leader rotation check from window service to replicate stage
* Add replicate_stage leader rotation exit test
* removed leader scheduler from the window service and associated modules/tests
* Corrected is_leader calculation in repair() function in window.rs
* Integrate LeaderScheduler with write_stage for leader to validator transitions
* Integrated LeaderScheduler with BroadcastStage
* Removed gossip leader rotation from crdt
* Add multi validator, leader test
* Comments and cleanup
* Remove unneeded checks from broadcast stage
* Fix case where a validator/leader need to immediately transition on startup after reading ledger and seeing they are not in the correct role
* Set new leader in validator -> validator transitions
* Clean up for PR comments, refactor LeaderScheduler from process_entry/process_ledger_tail
* Cleaned out LeaderScheduler options, implemented LeaderScheduler strategy that only picks the bootstrap leader to support existing tests, drone/airdrops
* Ignore test_full_leader_validator_network test due to bug where the next leader in line fails to get the last entry before rotation (b/c it hasn't started up yet). Added a test test_dropped_handoff_recovery go track this bug
