This PR removes a logic in the miner, which was originally intended to help temporary testnets based on ethash from "running off into the future". If the difficulty was low, and a few computers started mining several blocks per second, the ethash rules (which demand 1s delay between blocks) would push the blocktimes further and further away.
The solution was to make the miner sleep while this happened.
Nowadays, this problem is solved instead by PoA chains, and it's recommended to let testnets and devnets be based on clique instead. The existing logic is problematic, since it can cause stalls within the miner making it difficult for remote workers to submit work if the channel is blocked on a sleep.

The legacy dot-org URL was displaying a message about the repository
having migrated to the dot-com service, which now covers open-source
projects as well.
During the snap and eth refactor, the net_version rpc call was falsely deprecated.
This restores the net_version RPC handler as most eth2 nodes and other software
depend on it.
* les: allow tx unindexing in les/4 light server mode
* les: minor fixes
* les: more small fixes
* les: add meaningful constants for recentTxIndex handshake field
This commit splits the eth package, separating the handling of eth and snap protocols. It also includes the capability to run snap sync (https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/caps/snap.md) , but does not enable it by default.

This PR implements unclean shutdown marker. Every time geth boots, it adds a timestamp to a list of timestamps in the database. This list is capped at 10. At a clean shutdown, the timestamp is removed again.
Thus, when geth exits unclean, the marker remains, and at boot up we show the most recent unclean shutdowns to the user, which makes it easier to diagnose root-causes to certain problems.

This PR adds re-written difficulty calculators, which are based on uint256. It also adds a fuzzer + oss-fuzz integration for the new fuzzer. It does differential fuzzing between the new and old calculators.
Note: this PR does not actually enable the new calculators.
This PR adds support for using Twitter API to query the tweet and author details. There are two reasons behind this change:
- Twitter will be deprecating the legacy website on 15th December. The current method is expected to stop working then.
- More importantly, the current system uses Twitter handle for spam protection but the Twitter handle can be changed via automated calls. This allows bots to use the same tweet to withdraw funds infinite times as long as they keep changing their handle between every request. The Rinkeby as well as the Goerli faucet are being actively drained via this method. This PR changes the spam protection to be based on Twitter IDs instead of usernames. A user can not change their Twitter ID.
In miner/worker.go, there are two goroutine using channel w.newWorkCh: newWorkerLoop() sends to this channel, and mainLoop() receives from this channel. Only the receive operation is in a select.
However, w.exitCh may be closed by another goroutine. This is fine for the receive since receive is in select, but if the send operation is blocking, then it will block forever. This commit puts the send in a select, so it won't block even if w.exitCh is closed.
Similarly, there are two goroutines using channel errc: the parent that runs the test receives from it, and the child created at line 573 sends to it. If the parent goroutine exits too early by calling t.Fatalf() at line 614, then the child goroutine will be blocked at line 574 forever. This commit adds 1 buffer to errc. Now send will not block, and receive is not influenced because receive still needs to wait for the send.
The previous fix#21960 converted the float to an intermediate signed int, before attempting the uint conversion. Although this works, this doesn't guarantee that other architectures will work the same.
This commit fixes a flaw in two testcases, and brings down the exec-time from ~40s to ~8s for trie/TestIncompleteSync.
The checkConsistency was performed over and over again on the complete set of nodes, not just the recently added, turning it into a quadratic runtime.
The database panicked for invalid IPs. This is usually no problem
because all code paths leading to node DB access verify the IP, but it's
dangerous because improper validation can turn this panic into a DoS
vulnerability. The quick fix here is to just turn database accesses
using invalid IP into a noop. This isn't great, but I'm planning to
remove the node DB for discv5 long-term, so it should be fine to have
this quick fix for half a year.
Fixes#21849
This fixes some issues in crypto/signify and makes release signing work.
The archive signing step in ci.go used getenvBase64, which decodes the key data.
This is incorrect here because crypto/signify already base64-decodes the key.
* core: add test for headerchain inserts
* core, light: write headerchains in batches
* core: change to one callback per batch of inserted headers + review concerns
* core: error-check on batch write
* core: unexport writeHeaders
* core: remove callback parameter in InsertHeaderChain
The semantics of InsertHeaderChain are now much simpler: it is now an
all-or-nothing operation. The new WriteStatus return value allows
callers to check for the canonicality of the insertion. This change
simplifies use of HeaderChain in package les, where the callback was
previously used to post chain events.
* core: skip some hashing when writing headers
* core: less hashing in header validation
* core: fix headerchain flaw regarding blacklisted hashes

Both Hash and Address have a String method, which returns the value as
hex with 0x prefix. They also had a Format method which tried to print
the value using printf of []byte. The way Format worked was at odds with
String though, leading to a situation where fmt.Sprintf("%v", hash)
returned the decimal notation and hash.String() returned a hex string.
This commit makes it consistent again. Both types now support the %v,
%s, %q format verbs for 0x-prefixed hex output. %x, %X creates
unprefixed hex output. %d is also supported and returns the decimal
notation "[1 2 3...]".
For Address, the case of hex characters in %v, %s, %q output is
determined using the EIP-55 checksum. Using %x, %X with Address
disables checksumming.

This commit enables users to specify which signer they want to use while creating their transactOpts.
Previously all contract interactions used the homestead signer. Now a user can specify whether they
want to sign with homestead or EIP155 and specify the chainID which adds another layer of security.
Closes#16484
