Cross cluster gossip contamination is causing cluster-slots hash map to
contain a lot of bogus values and consume too much memory:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/17789
If a node is using the same identity key across clusters, then these
erroneous values might not be filtered out by shred-versions check,
because one of the variants of the contact-info will have matching
shred-version:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/17789#issuecomment-896304969
The cluster-slots hash-map is bounded and trimmed at the lower end by
the current root. This commit also discards slots epochs ahead of the
root.
