//! `start` subcommand - entry point for starting a zebra node
//!
//! ## Application Structure
//!
//! A zebra node consists of the following services and tasks:
//!
//! Peers:
//!  * Peer Connection Pool Service
//!    * primary external interface for outbound requests from this node to remote peers
//!    * accepts requests from services and tasks in this node, and sends them to remote peers
//!  * Peer Discovery Service
//!    * maintains a list of peer addresses, and connection priority metadata
//!    * discovers new peer addresses from existing peer connections
//!    * initiates new outbound peer connections in response to demand from tasks within this node
//!
//! Blocks & Mempool Transactions:
//!  * Consensus Service
//!    * handles all validation logic for the node
//!    * verifies blocks using zebra-chain, then stores verified blocks in zebra-state
//!    * verifies mempool and block transactions using zebra-chain and zebra-script,
//!      and returns verified mempool transactions for mempool storage
//!  * Groth16 Parameters Download Task
//!    * downloads the Sprout and Sapling Groth16 circuit parameter files
//!    * finishes when the download is complete and the download file hashes have been checked
//!  * Inbound Service
//!    * primary external interface for inbound peer requests to this node
//!    * handles requests from peers for network data, chain data, and mempool transactions
//!    * spawns download and verify tasks for each gossiped block
//!    * sends gossiped transactions to the mempool service
//!
//! Blocks:
//!  * Sync Task
//!    * runs in the background and continuously queries the network for
//!      new blocks to be verified and added to the local state
//!    * spawns download and verify tasks for each crawled block
//!  * State Service
//!    * contextually verifies blocks
//!    * handles in-memory storage of multiple non-finalized chains
//!    * handles permanent storage of the best finalized chain
//!  * Old State Version Cleanup Task
//!    * deletes outdated state versions
//!  * Block Gossip Task
//!    * runs in the background and continuously queries the state for
//!      newly committed blocks to be gossiped to peers
//!  * Progress Task
//!    * logs progress towards the chain tip
//!
//! Mempool Transactions:
//!  * Mempool Service
//!    * activates when the syncer is near the chain tip
//!    * spawns download and verify tasks for each crawled or gossiped transaction
//!    * handles in-memory storage of unmined transactions
//!  * Queue Checker Task
//!    * runs in the background, polling the mempool to store newly verified transactions
//!  * Transaction Gossip Task
//!    * runs in the background and gossips newly added mempool transactions
//!      to peers
//!
//! Remote Procedure Calls:
//!  * JSON-RPC Service
//!    * answers RPC client requests using the State Service and Mempool Service
//!    * submits client transactions to the node's mempool
//!
//! Zebra also has diagnostic support:
//! * [metrics](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/blob/main/book/src/user/metrics.md)
//! * [tracing](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/blob/main/book/src/user/tracing.md)
//! * [progress-bar](https://docs.rs/howudoin/0.1.1/howudoin)
//!
//! Some of the diagnostic features are optional, and need to be enabled at compile-time.
