This change
- implements concurrent LES request serving even for a single peer.
- replaces the request cost estimation method with a cost table based on
benchmarks which gives much more consistent results. Until now the
allowed number of light peers was just a guess which probably contributed
a lot to the fluctuating quality of available service. Everything related
to request cost is implemented in a single object, the 'cost tracker'. It
uses a fixed cost table with a global 'correction factor'. Benchmark code
is included and can be run at any time to adapt costs to low-level
implementation changes.
- reimplements flowcontrol.ClientManager in a cleaner and more efficient
way, with added capabilities: There is now control over bandwidth, which
allows using the flow control parameters for client prioritization.
Target utilization over 100 percent is now supported to model concurrent
request processing. Total serving bandwidth is reduced during block
processing to prevent database contention.
- implements an RPC API for the LES servers allowing server operators to
assign priority bandwidth to certain clients and change prioritized
status even while the client is connected. The new API is meant for
cases where server operators charge for LES using an off-protocol mechanism.
- adds a unit test for the new client manager.
- adds an end-to-end test using the network simulator that tests bandwidth
control functions through the new API.
Simplifies the transaction presense check to use a function to
determine if the transaction is present in the block provided
to trace, which originally had a redundant parenthesis and used
a `exist` flag to dictate control flow.
This changes default location of the data directory to use the LOCALAPPDATA
environment variable, resolving issues with remote home directories an improving
compatibility with Cygwin.

Until this commit, when sending an RPC request that called `NewEVM`, a blank `vm.Config`
would be taken so as to set some options, based on the default configuration. If some extra
configuration switches were passed to the blockchain, those would be ignored.
This PR adds a function to get the config from the blockchain, and this is what is now used
for RPC calls.
Some subsequent changes need to be made, see https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/17955#pullrequestreview-182237244
for the details of the discussion.
* core: speed up GenerateChain
Use a mock implementation of ChainReader instead of creating
and destroying a BlockChain object for each generated block.
* eth/downloader: speed up tests by generating chain only once
This change reworks the downloader tests so they share a common test
blockchain instead of generating a chain in every test. The tests are
roughly twice as fast now.
This adds the global accumulated refund counter to the standard
json output as a numeric json value. Previously this was not very
interesting since it was not used much, but with the new sstore
gas changes the value is a lot more interesting from a consensus
investigation perspective.
