With this, we are dropping support for protocol version eth/68. The only supported
version is eth/69 now. The p2p receipt encoding logic can be simplified a lot, and
processing of receipts during sync gets a little faster because we now transform
the network encoding into the database encoding directly, without decoding the
receipts first.

Previously, handshake timeouts were recorded as generic peer errors
instead of timeout errors. waitForHandshake passed a raw
p2p.DiscReadTimeout into markError, but markError classified errors only
via errors.Unwrap(err), which returns nil for non-wrapped errors. As a
result, the timeoutError meter was never incremented and all such
failures fell into the peerError bucket.
This change makes markError switch on the base error, using
errors.Unwrap(err) when available and falling back to the original error
otherwise. With this adjustment, p2p.DiscReadTimeout is correctly mapped
to timeoutError, while existing behaviour for the other wrapped sentinel
errors remains unchanged

All five `revert*Request` functions (account, bytecode, storage,
trienode heal, bytecode heal) remove the request from the tracked set
but never restore the peer to its corresponding idle pool. When a
request times out and no response arrives, the peer is permanently lost
from the idle pool, preventing new work from being assigned to it.
In normal operation mode (snap-sync full state) this bug is masked by
pivot movement (which resets idle pools via new Sync() cycles every ~15
minutes) and peer churn (reconnections re-add peers via Register()).
However in scenarios like the one I have running my (partial-stateful
node)[https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/33764] with
long-running sync cycles and few peers, all peers can eventually leak
out of the idle pools, stalling sync entirely.
Fix: after deleting from the request map, restore the peer to its idle
pool if it is still registered (guards against the peer-drop path where
Unregister already removed the peer). This mirrors the pattern used in
all five On* response handlers.
This only seems to manifest in peer-thirstly scenarios as where I find
myself when testing snapsync for the partial-statefull node).
Still, thought was at least good to raise this point. Unsure if required
to discuss or not
This changes the p2p protocol handlers to delay message decoding. It's
the first part of a larger change that will delay decoding all the way
through message processing. For responses, we delay the decoding until
it is confirmed that the response matches an active request and does not
exceed its limits.
In order to make this work, all messages have been changed to use
rlp.RawList instead of a slice of the decoded item type. For block
bodies specifically, the decoding has been delayed all the way until
after verification of the response hash.
The role of p2p/tracker.Tracker changes significantly in this PR. The
Tracker's original purpose was to maintain metrics about requests and
responses in the peer-to-peer protocols. Each protocol maintained a
single global Tracker instance. As of this change, the Tracker is now
always active (regardless of metrics collection), and there is a
separate instance of it for each peer. Whenever a response arrives, it
is first verified that a request exists for it in the tracker. The
tracker is also the place where limits are kept.
The upstream libray has removed the assembly-based implementation of
keccak. We need to maintain our own library to avoid a peformance
regression.
