test_pull_from_entrypoint_if_not_present relies on a deterministic
ordering for the entries when generating gossip pull requests.
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/25460
changed an intermediate type for gossip pull-requests from Vec to
HashMap, and so the entries are no longer deterministically ordered.
This causes the test to be flaky.
The commit updates the test so that it no longer relies on the ordering.
Each time a node generates gossip pull-requests, it sends out all the
requests to a single randomly selected peer:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/fd7ad31ee/gossip/src/crds_gossip_pull.rs#L253-L266
This causes a burst of pull-requests at a single node at once. In order
to make gossip in-bound traffic less bursty, this commit fans out gossip
pull-requests to several randomly selected peers.
This should reduce spikes in inbound gossip traffic without changing the
average load which may help reduce number of times outbound data budget is
exhausted when responding to gossip pull-requests at the receiving node, and
reduce number of pull-requests dropped.
Upcoming changes to PacketBatch to support variable sized packets will
modify the internals of PacketBatch. So, this change removes usage of
the internal packet struct and instead uses accessors (which are
currently just wrappers of Vector functions but will change down the
road).
Refactor the thin_client::create_client to take addresses separately instead of as a tuple

* Add quic-client module to send transactions via quic, abstracted behind the TpuConnection trait (along with a legacy UDP implementation of TpuConnection) and change thin-client to use TpuConnection
The commit adjust CRDS_SHARDS_BITS up to be in-line with mask_bits in
gossip pull request. This will avoid redundant filtering of irrelevant
crds entries when responding to pull requests.
The indices for erasure coding shreds are tied to data shreds:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/90f41fd9b/ledger/src/shred.rs#L921
However with the upcoming changes to erasure schema, there will be more
erasure coding shreds than data shreds and we can no longer infer coding
shreds indices from data shreds.
The commit adds constructs to track coding shreds indices explicitly.
next-shred-index is already readily available from returned data shreds.
The commit simplifies the api for upcoming changes to erasure coding
schema which will require explicit tracking of indices for coding shreds
as well as data shreds.
