In several places in gossip code, the entire crds table is scanned only
to filter out nodes' contact infos. Currently on mainnet, crds table is
of size ~70k, while there are only ~470 nodes. So the full table scan is
inefficient. Instead we may maintain an index of only nodes' contact
infos.
Based on run-time profiles, the majority time of new_pull_requests is
spent building bloom filters, in hashing and bit-vec ops.
This commit builds crds filters in parallel using rayon constructs. The
added benchmark shows ~5x speedup (4-core machine, 8 threads).

filter_crds_values checks every crds filter against every hash value:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/ee646aa7/core/src/crds_gossip_pull.rs#L432
which can be inefficient if the filter's bit-mask only matches small
portion of the entire crds table.
This commit shards crds values into separate tables based on shard_bits
first bits of their hash prefix. Given a (mask, mask_bits) filter,
filtering crds can be done by inspecting only relevant shards.
If CrdsFilter.mask_bits <= shard_bits, then precisely only the crds
values which match (mask, mask_bits) bit pattern are traversed.
If CrdsFilter.mask_bits > shard_bits, then approximately only
1/2^shard_bits of crds values are inspected.
Benchmarking on a gce cluster of 20 nodes, I see ~10% improvement in
generate_pull_responses metric, but with larger clusters, crds table and
2^mask_bits are both larger, so the impact should be more significant.
* Make Message::new_with_payer the default constructor
* Remove Transaction::new_[un]signed_instructions
These guess the fee-payer instead of stating it explicitly
* Pass blocktree into execute_batch, if persist_transaction_status
* Add validator arg to enable persistent transaction status store
* Pass blocktree into banking_stage, if persist_transaction_status
* Add validator params to bash scripts
* Expose actual transaction statuses outside Bank; add tests
* Fix benches
* Offload transaction status writes to a separate thread
* Enable persistent transaction status along with rpc service
* nudge
