* Split out voting and banking threads in banking stage
Additionally this allows us to aggressively prune the buffer for voting threads
as with the new vote state only the latest vote from each validator is
necessary.
* Update local cluster test to use new Vote ix
* Encapsulate transaction storage filtering better
* Address pr comments
* Commit cargo lock change
* clippy
* Remove unsafe impls
* pr comments
* compute_sanitized_transaction -> build_sanitized_transaction
* &Arc -> Arc
* Move test
* Refactor metrics enums
* clippy
- Batch filtering invalid transactions (fail to sanitize, too old or already processed) before forwarding
- Combine packet filtering and forwarding to share sanitized transactions
- `iter_desc` is no longer needed, remove it;
- Add a method to share the logic of removing packets from buffer after they were removed from MinMaxHeap
- Add test coverage for forward_packet_batches_by_accounts
- rebase, resolve conflicts
* Add structure to collect and coalesce vote packets
Will be used in banking stage to throw out extraneous vote packets
before processing
* pr comments
* Update inner lock to arc to improve performance
- Forward packets by prioritization in desc order
- Add support of cost-tracking by transaction requested compute units
- Hook up account buckets to forwarder
- Add metrics for forwardable batches count
- Remove redundant invalid packets filtering at end of slot since forwarder will do the same when batch forwardable packets
- Add bench test for forwarding
