* 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
Separate storage for voting and transaction threads:
- Voting threads utilize a shared reference in order to dedup extraneous
votes
- Transactions have thread local storage like before
