While reviewing PR #18565, as issue was brought up to refactor some code
around verifying the bank after rebuilding from snapshots. A new
top-level function has been added to get the latest snapshot archives
and load the bank then verify. Additionally, new tests have been
written and existing tests have been updated to use this new function.
Fixes#18973
While resolving the issue, it became clear there was some additional
low-hanging fruit this change enabled. Specifically, the functions
`bank_to_xxx_snapshot_archive()` now return their respective
`SnapshotArchiveInfo`. And on the flip side,
`bank_from_snapshot_archives()` now takes `SnapshotArchiveInfo`s instead
of separate paths and archive formats. This bundling simplifies bank
rebuilding.
This commit adds high-level functions for creating and loading-from
incremental snapshots, plus all low-level functions required to perform
those tasks. This commit **does not** add taking incremental snapshots
as part of a running validator, nor starting up a node with an
incremental snapshot; just laying ground work.
Additionally, `snapshot_utils` and `serde_snapshot` have been
refactored to use a common code paths for the different snapshots.
Also of note, some renaming has happened:
1. Snapshots are now either `full_` or `incremental_` throughout the
codebase. If not specified, the code applies to both.
2. Bank snapshots now are called "bank snapshots"
(before they were called "slot snapshots", "bank snapshots", or
just "snapshots"). The one exception is within `Bank`, where they
are still just "snapshots", because they are already "bank
snapshots".
3. Snapshot archives now have `_archive` in the code. This
should clear up an ambiguity between bank snapshots and snapshot
archives.
