* rlp: improve decoder stream implementation (#22858)
This commit makes various cleanup changes to rlp.Stream.
* rlp: shrink Stream struct
This removes a lot of unused padding space in Stream by reordering the
fields. The size of Stream changes from 120 bytes to 88 bytes. Stream
instances are internally cached and reused using sync.Pool, so this does
not improve performance.
* rlp: simplify list stack
The list stack kept track of the size of the current list context as
well as the current offset into it. The size had to be stored in the
stack in order to subtract it from the remaining bytes of any enclosing
list in ListEnd. It seems that this can be implemented in a simpler
way: just subtract the size from the enclosing list context in List instead.
* rlp: use atomic.Value for type cache (#22902)
All encoding/decoding operations read the type cache to find the
writer/decoder function responsible for a type. When analyzing CPU
profiles of geth during sync, I found that the use of sync.RWMutex in
cache lookups appears in the profiles. It seems we are running into
CPU cache contention problems when package rlp is heavily used
on all CPU cores during sync.
This change makes it use atomic.Value + a writer lock instead of
sync.RWMutex. In the common case where the typeinfo entry is present in
the cache, we simply fetch the map and lookup the type.
* rlp: optimize byte array handling (#22924)
This change improves the performance of encoding/decoding [N]byte.

* rlp: optimize big.Int decoding for size <= 32 bytes (#22927)
This change grows the static integer buffer in Stream to 32 bytes,
making it possible to decode 256bit integers without allocating a
temporary buffer.
In the recent commit 088da24, Stream struct size decreased from 120
bytes down to 88 bytes. This commit grows the struct to 112 bytes again,
but the size change will not degrade performance because Stream
instances are internally cached in sync.Pool.

* eth/protocols/eth, les: avoid Raw() when decoding HashOrNumber (#22841)
Getting the raw value is not necessary to decode this type, and
decoding it directly from the stream is faster.

This moves the eth config definition into a separate package, eth/ethconfig.
Packages eth and les can now import this common package instead of
importing eth from les, reducing dependencies.

This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
* eth: improve shutdown synchronization
Most goroutines started by eth.Ethereum didn't have any shutdown sync at
all, which lead to weird error messages when quitting the client.
This change improves the clean shutdown path by stopping all internal
components in dependency order and waiting for them to actually be
stopped before shutdown is considered done. In particular, we now stop
everything related to peers before stopping 'resident' parts such as
core.BlockChain.
* eth: rewrite sync controller
* eth: remove sync start debug message
* eth: notify chainSyncer about new peers after handshake
* eth: move downloader.Cancel call into chainSyncer
* eth: make post-sync block broadcast synchronous
* eth: add comments
* core: change blockchain stop message
* eth: change closeBloomHandler channel type
This PR enables the indexers to work in light client mode by
downloading a part of these tries (the Merkle proofs of the last
values of the last known section) in order to be able to add new
values and recalculate subsequent hashes. It also adds CHT data to
NodeInfo.
This PR implements the new LES protocol version extensions:
* new and more efficient Merkle proofs reply format (when replying to
a multiple Merkle proofs request, we just send a single set of trie
nodes containing all necessary nodes)
* BBT (BloomBitsTrie) works similarly to the existing CHT and contains
the bloombits search data to speed up log searches
* GetTxStatusMsg returns the inclusion position or the
pending/queued/unknown state of a transaction referenced by hash
* an optional signature of new block data (number/hash/td) can be
included in AnnounceMsg to provide an option for "very light
clients" (mobile/embedded devices) to skip expensive Ethash check
and accept multiple signatures of somewhat trusted servers (still a
lot better than trusting a single server completely and retrieving
everything through RPC). The new client mode is not implemented in
this PR, just the protocol extension.
