## Motivation
This PR is motivated by the regression identified in https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/issues/1349. That PR notes that the metrics stopped working for most of the crates other than `zebrad`.
## Solution
This PR resolves the regression by deduplicating the `metrics` crate dependency. During a recent change we upgraded the metrics version in `zebrad` and a couple other of our crates, but we never updated the dependencies in `zebra-state`, `zebra-consensus`, or `zebra-network`. This caused the metrics macros to attempt to retrieve the current metrics exporter through the wrong function. We would install the metrics exporter in `0.13`, but then attempt to look it up through the `0.12` crate, which contains a different instance of the metrics exporter static variable which is unset. Doing this causes the metrics macros to return `None` for the current exporter after which they just silently give up.

## Follow Up Work
I noticed we have quite a few duplicate dependencies in our tree. We might be able to save some compilation time by auditing those and deduplicating them as much as possible.

Because the new version of the prometheus exporter launches its own
single-threaded runtime on a dedicated worker thread, there's no need
for the tokio and hyper versions it uses internally to align with the
versions used in other crates. So we don't need to use our fork with
tokio 0.3, and can just use the published alpha. Advancing to a later
alpha may fix the missing-metrics issues.
If the limit is less than the ideal, try to increase it to the ideal.
If that doesn't work, try to increase the limit as high as possible.
If the limit is still less than the minimum, panic.
As we approach our alpha release we've decided we want to plan ahead for the user bug reports we will eventually receive. One of the bigger issues we foresee is determining exactly what version of the software users are running, and particularly how easy it may or may not be for users to accidentally discard this information when reporting bugs.
To defend against this, we've decided to include the exact git sha for any given build in the compiled artifact. This information will then be re-exported as a span early in the application startup process, so that all logs and error messages should include the sha as their very first span. We've also added this sha as issue metadata for `color-eyre`'s github issue url auto generation feature, which should make sure that the sha is easily available in bug reports we receive, even in the absence of logs.

This commit changes the state system and database format to track the
provenance of UTXOs, in addition to the outputs themselves.
Specifically, it tracks the following additional metadata:
- the height at which the UTXO was created;
- whether or not the UTXO was created from a coinbase transaction or
not.
This metadata will allow us to:
- check the coinbase maturity consensus rule;
- check the coinbase inputs => no transparent outputs rule;
- implement lookup of transactions by utxo (using the height to find the
block and then scanning the block) for a future RPC mechanism.
Closes#1342
The UTXO query system assumes that a transaction will only request
information about UTXOs created in prior blocks. But transactions are
allowed to spend UTXOs created by prior transactions in the same block.
This doesn't fit with the existing query model, so instead of trying to
change it, allow the script verifier to take an additional set of known
UTXOs, and propagate this set from the block.
The metrics code becomes much simpler because the current version of the
metrics crate builds its own single-threaded runtime on a dedicated worker
thread, so no dependency on the main Zebra Tokio runtime is required.
This change is mostly mechanical, with the exception of the changes to the
`tower-batch` middleware. This middleware was adapted from `tower::buffer`,
and the `tower::buffer` code was changed to implement its own bounded queue,
because Tokio 0.3 removed the `mpsc::Sender::poll_send` method. See
ddc64e8d4d
for more context on the Tower changes. To match Tower as closely as possible
in order to be able to upstream `tower-batch`, those changes are copied from
`tower::Buffer` to `tower-batch`.
## Motivation
Prior to this PR we've been using `sled` as our database for storing persistent chain data on the disk between boots. We picked sled over rocksdb to minimize our c++ dependencies despite it being a less mature codebase. The theory was if it worked well enough we'd prefer to have a pure rust codebase, but if we ever ran into problems we knew we could easily swap it out with rocksdb.
Well, we ran into problems. Sled's memory usage was particularly high, and it seemed to be leaking memory. On top of all that, the performance for writes was pretty poor, causing us to become bottle-necked on sled instead of the network.
## Solution
This PR replaces `sled` with `rocksdb`. We've seen a 10x improvement in memory usage out of the box, no more leaking, and much better write performance. With this change writing chain data to disk is no longer a limiting factor in how quickly we can sync the chain.

## Review
@hdevalence
The hedge middleware implements hedged requests, as described in _The
Tail At Scale_. The idea is that we auto-tune our retry logic according
to the actual network conditions, pre-emptively retrying requests that
exceed some latency percentile. This would hopefully solve the problem
where our timeouts are too long on mainnet and too slow on testnet.
This makes two changes relative to the existing download code:
1. It uses a oneshot to attempt to cancel the download task after it
has started;
2. It encapsulates the download creation and cancellation logic into a
Downloads struct.
This commit begins the process of integrating `zcash_script` with the rest of the system for verifying scripts while syncing the block chain. It does so by adding the necessary support for looking up UTXOs from the state service and implements the first parts of the `script::Verifier` for looking up the necessary UTXOs in the state and then generating the necessary call to `zcash_script` to verify the script itself.

This addresses at least three pain points:
- we were affected by bugs that were already fixed in git, but not in
the released crate;
- we can use service combinators to transform requests and responses;
- we can use the hedge middleware.
The version in git is still marked as 0.3.1 but these changes will be
part of tower 0.4: https://github.com/tower-rs/tower/issues/431
* refactor block and tx validation errors
* rename errors module to error
* move NoTransactions to BlockError
* clarify some errors, use dbg format for hash in error
* mnake is_coinbase_first return BlockError
* add new error types for each consensus Service

* add test for first checkpoint sync
Prior this this change we've not had any tests that verify our sync /
network logic is well behaved. This PR cleans up the test helper code to
make error reports more consistent and uses this cleaned up API to
implement a checkpoint sync test which runs zebrad until it reads the
first checkpoint event from stdout.
