Upgrade dependency versions
* All version information is merged into one place
* Upgrade most version to their latest non-test version.
* dependencies are now sorted
Two dependencies were not upgraded:
errorprone - There are new checks that require build or source changes.
vertex - The license to eclipse 2.0 which is not in our current approved license list.
The change is trivial but for tracability it should be done alone.
IBFT requires various aspects of the mining infrastructure in order
to create a proposed block.
This includes specifically the BlockCreator and MiningCoordinating,
the mining executor is not required at this stage, nor is the miner.
Update value returned by web3_clientVersion to be ethstats friendly
* Version part starts with a v
* SNAPSHOT builds report 32 bits of the git hash
* OS and architecture are sniffed out and reported
* JVM version and branding are sniffed out and reported
Example values (not all real):
pantheon/v0.9.0-dev-f800a0b1/osx-x86_64/oracle-java-1.8
pantheon/v0.9.0-dev-27960b57/osx-x86_64/zulu-java-11
pantheon/v0.9.0/linux-arm64/openjdk-java-12
* Introduce ProtocolScheduleBuilder and use it for Clique, MainNet, IBFT and dev.
* Remove default milestone blocks and simplify MainnetProtocolSchedule. All milestone blocks must now be defined in the genesis file (previously ethash chains would get Mainnet milestone blocks by default).
* Make GenesisConfigFile responsible for handling all the content in the genesis config file and rename GenesisConfig to GenesisState as it is now just responsible for creating the initial state at genesis.
* In CliqueProtocolController, pass the network ID to EthProtocolManager instead of the chain ID and use downloader parallelism setting instead of network ID for the number of threads.
