This section contains genesis-related settings including genesis-related or natives-related
extensions. Currently it includes the set of node roles that may be designated
duing the native Designation contract initialisation.

And include some node-specific configurations there with backwards
compatibility. Note that in the future we'll remove Ledger's
fields from the ProtocolConfiguration and it'll be possible to access them in
Blockchain directly (not via .Ledger).
The other option tried was using two configuration types separately, but that
incurs more changes to the codebase, single structure that behaves almost like
the old one is better for backwards compatibility.
Fixes#2676.
It's more generic and convenient than MillisecondsPerBlock. This setting is
made in backwards-compatible fashion, but it'll override SecondsPerBlock if
both are used. Configurations are specifically not changed here, it's
important to check compatibility.
Fixes#2675.
The key idea here is that even though we can't ensure MPT code won't make the
node active again we can order the changes made to the persistent store in
such a way that it practically doesn't matter. What happens is:
* after persist if it's time to collect our garbage we do it synchronously
right in the same thread working the underlying persistent store directly
* all the other node code doesn't see much of it, it works with bc.dao or
layers above it
* if MPT doesn't find some stale deactivated node in the storage it's OK,
it'll recreate it in bc.dao
* if MPT finds it and activates it, it's OK too, bc.dao will store it
* while GC is being performed nothing else changes the persistent store
* all subsequent bc.dao persists only happen after the GC is completed which
means that any changes to the (potentially) deleted nodes have a priority,
it's OK for GC to delete something that'll be recreated with the next
persist cycle
Otherwise it's a simple scheme with node status/last active height stored in
the value. Preliminary tests show that it works ~18% worse than the simple
KeepOnlyLatest scheme, but this seems to be the best result so far.
Fixes#2095.
part of #904
1. We now have MaxTransactionsPerBlock set in native Policy contract,
so this value should be used in (dbft).GetVerified method instead
of passing it as an argument.
2. Removed (dbft).WithTxPerBlock.
2. DBFT API has changed, so update it's version.
3. Removed MaxTransactionsPerBlock from node configuration, as we
have it set in native Policy contract.
There is no such thing as high/low priority transactions, as there are
no free transactions anymore and they are ordered by fees contained
in transaction itself.
Closes#1063.
