* Move more of the replicator logic into the replicator class
* Add support for the RPC interface to query the storage last_id value
that the replicator would sign and use to pick a block.
* Fix replicator connecting to gossip and change test to exercise that
scenario.
* Add db_window module for windowing functions from RocksDb
* Replace window with db_window functions in window_service
* Fix tests
* Make note of change in db_window
* Create RocksDb ledger in bin/fullnode
* Make db_ledger functions generic
* Add db_ledger to bin/replicator
* Cluster Replicated Data Store
Separate the data storage and merge strategy from the network IO boundary.
Implement an eager push overlay for transporting recent messages.
Simulation shows fast convergence with 20k nodes.
add linked-list capability to accounts
change accounts from a linked list to a VecDeque
add checkpoint and rollback for lastids
add subscriber notifications for rollbacks
checkpoint transaction count, too
* Add first leader to genesis entries, consume in genesis.sh
* Set bootstrap leader in the bank on startup, remove instantiation of bootstrap leader from bin/fullnode
* Remove need to initialize bootstrap leader in leader_scheduler, now can be read from genesis entries
* Add separate interface new_with_leader() in mint for creating genesis leader entries
* Added tests to thin client to test VoteContract calls, fix VoteContract sizing errors
* Calculate upper bound on VoteProgram size at runtime, add test for serializing/deserializing a max sized VoteProgram state
* Add Vote Contract
* Move ownership of LeaderScheduler from Fullnode to the bank
* Modified ReplicateStage to consume leader information from bank
* Restart RPC Services in Leader To Validator Transition
* Make VoteContract Context Free
* Remove voting from ClusterInfo and Tpu
* Remove dependency on ActiveValidators in LeaderScheduler
* Switch VoteContract to have two steps 1) Register 2) Vote. Change thin client to create + register a voting account on fullnode startup
* Remove check in leader_to_validator transition for unique references to bank, b/c jsonrpc service and rpcpubsub hold references through jsonhttpserver
