* Added LeaderScheduler module and tests
* plumbing for LeaderScheduler in Fullnode + tests. Add vote processing for active set to ReplicateStage and WriteStage
* Add LeaderScheduler plumbing for Tvu, window, and tests
* Fix bank and switch tests to use new LeaderScheduler
* move leader rotation check from window service to replicate stage
* Add replicate_stage leader rotation exit test
* removed leader scheduler from the window service and associated modules/tests
* Corrected is_leader calculation in repair() function in window.rs
* Integrate LeaderScheduler with write_stage for leader to validator transitions
* Integrated LeaderScheduler with BroadcastStage
* Removed gossip leader rotation from crdt
* Add multi validator, leader test
* Comments and cleanup
* Remove unneeded checks from broadcast stage
* Fix case where a validator/leader need to immediately transition on startup after reading ledger and seeing they are not in the correct role
* Set new leader in validator -> validator transitions
* Clean up for PR comments, refactor LeaderScheduler from process_entry/process_ledger_tail
* Cleaned out LeaderScheduler options, implemented LeaderScheduler strategy that only picks the bootstrap leader to support existing tests, drone/airdrops
* Ignore test_full_leader_validator_network test due to bug where the next leader in line fails to get the last entry before rotation (b/c it hasn't started up yet). Added a test test_dropped_handoff_recovery go track this bug
* Add check in window_service to exit in checks for leader rotation, and propagate that service exit up to fullnode
* Added logic to shutdown Tvu once ReplicateStage finishes
* Added test for successfully shutting down validator and starting up leader
* Add test for leader validator interaction
* fix streamer to check for exit signal before checking socket again to prevent busy leaders from never returning
* PR comments - Rewrite make_consecutive_blobs() function, revert genesis function change
lastidnotfound step 2:
* move "record stage", aka poh_service into banking stage
* remove Entry.has_more, is incompatible with leader rotation
* rewrite entry_next_hash in terms of Poh
* simplify and unify transaction hashing (no embedded nulls)
* register_last_entry from banking stage, fixes#1171 (w00t!)
* new PoH doesn't generate empty ledger entries, so some fixes necessary in
multinode tests that rely on that (e.g. giving validators airdrops)
* make window repair less patient, if we've been waiting for an answer,
don't be shy about most recent blobs
* delete recorder and record stage
* make more verbost thin_client error reporting
* more tracing in window (sigh)
* Move recycler instances to the point of allocation
* sinks no longer need to call `recycle`
* Remove the recycler arguments from all the apis that no longer need them
- The write stage will output vector of entries
- Broadcast stage will create blobs out of the entries
- Helps reduce MIPS requirements for write stage
