Zebra assumes that deserialized times are always able to be serialized.
But this assumption is wrong because:
- sanitization can modify times
- gossiped `MetaAddr` validation can modify times
* Refactor: Split CandidateSet::update into separate functions
* Security: Apply a timeout to the entire CandidateSet::update
* Security: Stop using very large fanout limits during initialization
Previously, Zebra used the number of resolved peer addresses.
So it was possible for all peers to fail, and for Zebra to hang on the
first update.
And Zebra could send a fanout for each initial peer, regardless
of whether their connection was successful.
Also:
- wait for at least one successful peer before trying an update
- warn if there are no successful initial peers
When peers ask for peer addresses, add our local listener address to the
set of addresses, sanitize, then truncate. Sanitize shuffles addresses,
so if there are lots of addresses in the address book, our address will
only be sent to some peers.
Add canonical addresses from inbound connections to the address book,
so that Zebra can use them for reconnection attempts.
Use the newly added `NeverAttemptedAlternate` state for these addresses,
so we try gossiped addresses first, then canonical addresses. This avoids
duplicate connections to inbound peers.
If there is a small number of initial peers, and they are slow, the
initial candidate set update can appear to hang. To avoid this issue,
limit the initial candidate set fanout to the number of initial peers.
Once the initial peers have sent us more peer addresses, there is no need
to limit the fanouts for future updates.

* Security: panic if an internally generated time is out of range
If Zebra has a bug where it generates blocks, transactions, or meta
addresses with bad times, panic. This avoids sending bad data onto the
network.
(Previously, Zebra would truncate some of these times, silently
corrupting the underlying data.)
Make it clear that deserialization of these objects is infalliable.
* Instrument the crawl task
When we created the crawl task, we forgot to instrument it with the
global span. This fix makes sure that the git and network span appears on
crawl logs.
* Instrument the connector
* Improve handshake instrumentation
Make some spans debug, so there are not too many spans.
* Add the address to initial peer connection errors
- stop putting inbound addresses in the address book
- drop address book entries that can't be used for outbound connections
- distinguish between temporary inbound and permanent outbound peer
addresses
- also create variants to handle proxy connections
(but don't use them yet)
- avoid tracking connection state for isolated connections
- document security constraints for the address book and peer set
* Security: stop panicking on out-of-range version timestamps
Instead, return a deserialization error, and close the connection.
This issue was reported by Equilibrium.
* Disable clippy warnings about comparing a newly created struct
In Sapling, we compare canonical JubJub bytes with a supplied byte array.
Since we need to perform calculations to get it into canonical form, we
need to create a newly owned object.
* Clippy: use assert rather than assert_eq on a bool
* Allow use listen address in config without port
* update comments
* remove not used alias
* use Network::default_port
* Move tests and use toml instead json
* change error message
* Make match more readable

* Add functions for serializing and deserializing split arrays
In Transaction::V5, Zcash splits some types into multiple arrays, with a
single prefix count before the first array.
Add utility functions for serializing and deserializing the subsequent
arrays, with a paramater for the original array's length.
* Use zcash_deserialize_bytes_external_count in zebra-network
* Move some preallocate proptests to their own file
And fix the test module structure so it is consistent with the rest of
zebra-chain.
* Add a convenience alias zcash_serialize_external_count
* Explain why u64::MAX items will never be reached
Zebra avoids having a majority of addresses from a single peer by asking
3 peers for new addresses.
Also update a bunch of security comments and related documentation.
* Make proptest dependencies consistent between chain and network
* Implement Arbitrary for InventoryHash and use it in tests
* Impl Arbitrary for MetaAddr and use it in tests
Also test some extreme times in MetaAddr sanitization.
* Stop ignoring inbound message errors and handshake timeouts
To avoid hangs, Zebra needs to maintain the following invariants in the
handshake and heartbeat code:
- each handshake should run in a separate spawned task
(not yet implemented)
- every message, error, timeout, and shutdown must update the peer address state
- every await that depends on the network must have a timeout
Once the Connection is created, it should handle timeouts.
But we need to handle timeouts during handshake setup.
* Avoid hangs by adding a timeout to the candidate set update
Also increase the fanout from 1 to 2, to increase address diversity.
But only return permanent errors from `CandidateSet::update`, because
the crawler task exits if `update` returns an error.
Also log Peers response errors in the CandidateSet.
* Use the select macro in the crawler to reduce hangs
The `select` function is biased towards its first argument, risking
starvation.
As a side-benefit, this change also makes the code a lot easier to read
and maintain.
* Split CrawlerAction::Demand into separate actions
This refactor makes the code a bit easier to read, at the cost of
sometimes blocking the crawler on `candidates.next()`.
That's ok, because `next` only has a short (< 100 ms) delay. And we're
just about to spawn a separate task for each handshake.
* Spawn a separate task for each handshake
This change avoids deadlocks by letting each handshake make progress
independently.
* Move the dial task into a separate function
This refactor improves readability.
* Fix buggy future::select function usage
And document the correctness of the new code.
* Move the preallocate tests into their own files
And move the MetaAddr proptest into its own file.
Also do some minor formatting and cleanups.

`sanitize` could be misused in two ways:
* accidentally modifying the addresses in the address book itself
* forgetting to sanitize new fields added to `MetaAddr`
This change prevents accidental modification by taking `&self`, and
explicitly creates a new sanitized `MetaAddr` with all fields listed.
Zebra's latest alpha checkpoints on Canopy activation, continues our work on NU5, and fixes a security issue.
Some notable changes include:
## Added
- Log address book metrics when PeerSet or CandidateSet don't have many peers (#1906)
- Document test coverage workflow (#1919)
- Add a final job to CI, so we can easily require all the CI jobs to pass (#1927)
## Changed
- Zebra has moved its mandatory checkpoint from Sapling to Canopy (#1898, #1926)
- This is a breaking change for users that depend on the exact height of the mandatory checkpoint.
## Fixed
- tower-batch: wake waiting workers on close to avoid hangs (#1908)
- Assert that pre-Canopy blocks use checkpointing (#1909)
- Fix CI disk space usage by disabling incremental compilation in coverage builds (#1923)
## Security
- Stop relying on unchecked length fields when preallocating vectors (#1925)
Zebra already uses `Read::take` to enforce message, body, and block
maximum sizes.
So using `Read::take` on untrusted sizes can result in short reads,
without a corresponding `UnexpectedEof` error. (The old code was
correct, but copying it elsewhere would have been risky.)
* Add NU5 variant to NetworkUpgrade
* Add consensus branch ID for NU5
* Add network protocol versions for NU5
* Add NU5 to the protocol::version_consistent test
* Make unimplemented panic messages more specific
* Block target spacing doesn't change in NU5
* add comments for future updates for NU5

* Retry each peer DNS a few times individually
We retry each peer individually, as well as retrying if there are no
peers in the combined list.
DNS failures are correlated, so all peers can fail DNS, leaving Zebra
with a small list of custom-configured IP address peers.
Individual retries avoid this issue.
* Rename parse_peers to resolve_peers
