Tenets:
1. Limit thread names to 15 characters
2. Prefix all Solana-controlled threads with "sol"
3. Use Camel case. It's more character dense than Snake or Kebab case
* client: Remove static connection cache, plumb it instead
* Add TpuClient::new_with_connection_cache to not break downstream
* Refactor get_connection and RwLock into ConnectionCache
* Fix merge conflicts from new async TpuClient
* Remove `ConnectionCache::set_use_quic`
* Move DEFAULT_TPU_USE_QUIC to client, use ConnectionCache::default()
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
When starting a validator, the node initially joins gossip with
shred_verison = 0, until it adopts the entrypoint's shred-version:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/9b182f408/validator/src/main.rs#L417
Depending on the load on the entrypoint, this adopting entrypoint
shred-version through gossip sometimes becomes very slow, and causes
several problems in gossip because we have to partially support
shred_version == 0 which is a source of leaking crds values from one
cluster to another. e.g. see
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/17899
and the other linked issues there.
In order to remove shred_version == 0 from gossip, this commit adds
shred-version to ip-echo-server response. Once the entrypoints are
updated, on validator start-up, if --expected_shred_version is not
specified we will obtain shred-version from the entrypoint using
ip-echo-server.
* Move gossip modules to solana-gossip
* Update Protocol abi digest due to move
* Move gossip benches and hook up CI
* Remove unneeded Result entries
* Single use statements
