* fix: p2p sync with lagging peer
no need to sync with lagging peer, which could make the local chain stalling as well.
* fix: do not drop lagging peer, will retry it later.
The lagging peer is probably already the best peer with largest total difficulty.
Shoule not remove it, since p2p is a bidirectional connection, drop it could make
the peer unable to sync with this peer as well.
And the lagging peer could catch up later, so keep it.
* p2p: add lagging field in Peer
lagging peer will be connected, but won't be used to sync.
the lagging flag can be clear once the Peer updates its latest block state.
* test: fix UT compile issue
* fix: lagging peer func rename
* test: fix a UT fail of download test
errStallingPeer is replaced by errLaggingPeer in this case
* fix: lagging issue in light mode
* test: add and resolve UT of lagging peer
This PR reduces the amount of work we do when answering header queries, e.g. when a peer
is syncing from us.
For some items, e.g block bodies, when we read the rlp-data from database, we plug it
directly into the response package. We didn't do that for headers, but instead read
headers-rlp, decode to types.Header, and re-encode to rlp. This PR changes that to keep it
in RLP-form as much as possible. When a node is syncing from us, it typically requests 192
contiguous headers. On master it has the following effect:
- For headers not in ancient: 2 db lookups. One for translating hash->number (even though
the request is by number), and another for reading by hash (this latter one is sometimes
cached).
- For headers in ancient: 1 file lookup/syscall for translating hash->number (even though
the request is by number), and another for reading the header itself. After this, it
also performes a hashing of the header, to ensure that the hash is what it expected. In
this PR, I instead move the logic for "give me a sequence of blocks" into the lower
layers, where the database can determine how and what to read from leveldb and/or
ancients.
There are basically four types of requests; three of them are improved this way. The
fourth, by hash going backwards, is more tricky to optimize. However, since we know that
the gap is 0, we can look up by the parentHash, and stlil shave off all the number->hash
lookups.
The gapped collection can be optimized similarly, as a follow-up, at least in three out of
four cases.

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.

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.
This changes how the downloader works, a little bit. Previously, when block sync started,
we immediately started filling up to 8192 blocks. Usually this is fine, blocks are small
in the early numbers. The threshold then is lowered as we measure the size of the blocks
that are filled.
However, if the node is shut down and restarts syncing while we're in a heavy segment,
that might be bad. This PR introduces a more conservative initial threshold of 2K blocks
instead.

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/downloaded: fixed datarace between synchronize and Progress
There was a race condition between `downloader.synchronize()` and `Progress` `syncWithPeer` `fetchHeight` `findAncestors` and `processHeaders`
This PR changes the behavior of the downloader a bit.
Previously the functions `Progress` `syncWithPeer` `fetchHeight` `findAncestors` and `processHeaders` read the syncMode anew within their loops. Now they read the syncMode at the start of their function and don't change it during their runtime.
* eth/downloaded: comment
* eth/downloader: added comment
* eth/downloader tests: fix spurious failing test due to race between receipts/headers
* miner tests: fix travis failure on arm64
* eth/downloader: tests - store td in ancients too
This PR makes use of go 1.13 error handling, wrapping errors and using
errors.Is to check a wrapped root-cause. It also removes the travis
builders for go 1.11 and go 1.12.

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.
