* Plumb in three more metrics
* add blockchain_height gauge
* add blockchain_difficulty_total gauge
* add blockchain_announcedBlock_ingest histogram
This involved some deep pluming such that the metrics system needs to be
created in the PantheonCommand, along with trickle down effects into other
consensus engines. This is likely where it should live anyway.
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.
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).
* Introduce classes to wrap JSON config instead of accessing it directly in multiple places.
* Fix discrepancy in how CliqueProtocolSchedule and CliquePantheonController loaded the block period configuration.
* Upgrade ethereum reference tests
* Add support for sealEngine: NoProof by skipping PoW validation for ommer headers as well. Production code continues to always use full validation for ommers.
* Add Constantinople to reference test schedules ready for when we enable Constantinople tests.
* Blacklist the new reference tests that are failing while we investigate them.
