The commit adds a PingCache, which maintains records of remote nodes
which have returned a valid response to a ping message, and on-the-fly
ping messages pending a pong response from the remote node.
When handling pull-requests, those from addresses which have not passed
the ping-pong check are filtered out, and additionally ping packets are
added for addresses which need to be (re)verified.
* Add service to track the most recent optimistically confirmed bank
* Plumb service into ClusterInfoVoteListener and ReplayStage
* Clean up test
* Use OptimisticallyConfirmedBank in RPC
* Remove superfluous notifications from RpcSubscriptions
* Use crossbeam to avoid mpsc recv_timeout panic
* Review comments
* Remove superfluous last_checked_slots, but pass in OptimisticallyConfirmedBank for complete correctness
* Add blockstore column to store performance sampling data
* introduce timer and write performance metrics to blockstore
* introduce getRecentPerformanceSamples rpc
* only run on rpc nodes enabled with transaction history
* add unit tests for get_recent_performance_samples
* remove RpcResponse from rpc call
* refactor to use Instant::now and elapsed for timer
* switch to root bank and ensure not negative subraction

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.
