It is crucial that VersionedCrdsValue::insert_timestamp does not go
backward in time:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/ec37a843a/core/src/crds.rs#L67-L79
Otherwise methods such as get_votes and get_epoch_slots_since will
break, which will break their downstream flow, including vote-listener
and optimistic confirmation:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/ec37a843a/core/src/cluster_info.rs#L1197-L1215https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/ec37a843a/core/src/cluster_info.rs#L1274-L1298
For that, Crds::new_versioned is intended to be called "atomically" with
Crds::insert_verioned (as the comment already says so):
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/ec37a843a/core/src/crds.rs#L126-L129
However, currently this is violated in the code. For example,
filter_pull_responses creates VersionedCrdsValues (with the current
timestamp), then acquires an exclusive lock on gossip, then
process_pull_responses writes those values to the crds table:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/ec37a843a/core/src/cluster_info.rs#L2375-L2392
Depending on the workload and lock contention, the insert_timestamps may
well be in the past when these values finally are inserted into gossip.
To avoid such scenarios, this commit:
* removes Crds::new_versioned and Crd::insert_versioned.
* makes VersionedCrdsValue constructor private, only invoked in
Crds::insert, so that insert_timestamp is populated right before
insert.
This will improve insert_timestamp monotonicity as long as Crds::insert
is not called with a stalled timestamp. Following commits may further
improve this by calling timestamp() inside Crds::insert, and/or
switching to std::time::Instant which guarantees monotonicity.
Strip the zero-padding off of data shreds before insertion into blockstore

Local timestamps are updated for records associated with a pubkey if the
origin is still active:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/c8ed14c64/core/src/crds.rs#L301-L311
However this is done inconsistently on some gossip paths (pull requests
and pull responses) but not all (e.g. push messages). Additionally
update_record_timestamp is inefficient since there can be ~800 values
associated with each pubkey.
This commit updates records timestamps only on contact-infos; and,
instead utilizes origin's timestamp when purging old values.
Number of parity coding shreds is always less than the number of data
shreds in FEC blocks:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/6907a2366/ledger/src/shred.rs#L719
Data shreds are batched in chunks of 32 shreds each:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/6907a2366/ledger/src/shred.rs#L714
However the very last batch of data shreds in a slot can be small, in
which case the loss rate can be exacerbated.
This commit expands the number of coding shreds in the last FEC block in
slots to: 64 - number of data shreds; so that FEC blocks are always 64
data and parity coding shreds each.
As a consequence of this, the last FEC block has more parity coding
shreds than data shreds. So for some shred indices we will have a coding
shred but no data shreds. This should not cause any kind of overlapping
FEC blocks as in:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/10095
since this is done only for the very last batch in a slot, and the next
slot will reset the shred index.

If the vector is pinned and has a recycler, From<PinnedVec>
implementation of Vec should clone (instead of consuming) the underlying
vector so that the next allocation of a PinnedVec will recycle an
already pinned one.
