* 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 changes the SimultaneousRequests test to send the requests from the same
connection, as it doesn't really make sense to test whether a node can respond
to two requests with different request IDs from separate connections.
With the update to a newer AppVeyor build image, creating the Windows
installer no longer worked because of a string quoting error in EnvVarUpdate.nsh.
This applies the fix recommended in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62081765.
This PR cleans up the CI build system and fixes a couple of issues.
- The go tool launcher code has been moved to internal/build. With the new
toolchain functions, the environment of the host Go (i.e. the one that built
ci.go) and the target Go (i.e. the toolchain downloaded by -dlgo) are isolated
more strictly. This is important to make cross compilation and -dlgo work
correctly in more cases.
- The -dlgo option now skips the download and uses the host Go if the running Go
version matches dlgoVersion exactly.
- The 'test' command now supports -dlgo, -cc and -arch. Running unit tests with
foreign GOARCH is occasionally useful. For example, it can be used to run
32-bit tests on Windows. It can also be used to run darwin/amd64 tests on
darwin/arm64 using Rosetta 2.
- The 'aar', 'xcode' and 'xgo' commands now use a slightly different method to
install external tools. They previously used `go get`, but this comes with the
annoying side effect of modifying go.mod. They now use `go install` instead,
which is the recommended way of installing tools without modifying the local
module.
- The old build warning about outdated Go version has been removed because we're
much better at keeping backwards compatibility now.
This removes auto-configuration of the snap.*.ethdisco.net DNS discovery tree.
Since measurements have shown that > 75% of nodes in all.*.ethdisco.net support
snap, we have decided to retire the dedicated index for snap and just use the eth
tree instead.
The dial iterators of eth and snap now use the same DNS tree in the default configuration,
so both iterators should use the same DNS discovery client instance. This ensures that
the record cache and rate limit are shared. Records will not be requested multiple times.
While testing the change, I noticed that duplicate DNS requests do happen even
when the client instance is shared. This is because the two iterators request the tree
root, link tree root, and first levels of the tree in lockstep. To avoid this problem, the
change also adds a singleflight.Group instance in the client. When one iterator
attempts to resolve an entry which is already being resolved, the singleflight object
waits for the existing resolve call to finish and returns the entry to both places.
* params: remove dependency on crypto
Package params should not depend on package crypto because building
crypto requires cgo.
Since build/ci.go needs package params to get the go-ethereum version
number, C code must be compiled in order to run the build tool, which is
annoying for certain cross-compilation setups.
* params: add SectionHead
